Carbs are good for you

Carbonara..... Sooo yummy! What else is there to say?

It was our first time making it! The sherried mushrooms were also delish! Thanks to Epicurious Academic Moore for the company!

Lets go Belgian!

Academic Glatt is a sucker for mussels and these were absolutely delish! Before you go "How could they afford that?!" Academic Glatt found them in the frozen food section in her local super market for only $4.99. Very very good! Check your local market to see if they have some! Add a carb (like vermacilli) and your good to go!

Mussels from Market:$4.99

Enriched Pasta: $1.29

Farmers Market...

We here at Epicurious Academics are great proponents of the Farmers Market. Farmers Markets are good because they (normally) support local agriculture as well as sustainable farming. Also, lets be honest food, vegetables and fruits purchased at Farmers Markets tend to be tastier. Fresher, sweeter, more ripe and generally better quality because the growers don't have to pick the produce super early to meet with the packaging and shipping demands of the supermarkets. While we admit that sometimes shopping at the Farmers Markets can be more expensive, sometimes better quality costs a little bit more. We are still a struggling college student and college grad but we will always have a special place in our hearts for Farmers Markets!

A bread and Cheese spread.

Bread: ACME

Juice: FRESH PRESSED APPLE

Cheese: I CAN'T REMEMBER BUT DAMN WAS IT TASTY!

Thanks Epicuriuos Academic friends for sharing the plunder!

Farmers Markets: Good for the Soul! Not to mention the benefits of fresh air!

PRODUCT:

Batch of partially eaten roasted green onions that were absolutely scrumptious! Really very amazing! Both Epicurious Academics Glatt and Dew are now absolutely obsessed with roasting green onions

TIP OF THE DAY: Make sure you get the large green onions, in between the sizes of leeks and scallions.

Green onions from Ferry Building Saturday Farmers Market: $1.50

SOUP!!!

Here is the first batch of butternut squash- leak soup made this winter. This winter we will be playing around with butternut squash and different recipes for it... and especially different recipes for butternut squash soup! Please let us know if you have any recipes! This soup was pretty good! But we recommend gorgonzola cheese with it (and maybe some pine nuts)!

Love,

Old Fashioned.

No not the drink (though Epicurious Academic Glatt does recommend the ones from Circa) we mean the meal! A bit of meatloaf and mashed potatoes can always make you feel warm and happy! Check out the pictures from our Old Fashioned but always "hits the spot" meal of mashed potatoes, zucchini and meatloaf. Was perfect after a long day at school!

Can you Mash Potatoe?

Meatloaf!

Zucchini!

FINAL PRODUCT!

PS. Epicurious Academic Dews Mashed Potatoes were outta this world! (and she didn't even have a masher!)
