We're basically Martha Stewart. If Martha Stewart had a budget and an appreciation for wine. We try to stick to mostly veggies and mostly local.

Ginger pork with carrots and mushrooms
I chopped up a large amount of ginger and 2 cloves of garlic, mixed in a generous amt of tamari and a bit of honey and brown sugar.  Marinate strips of pork in it for a day (you could do less, obvi).  Cook and salivate as it is cooking.
Veggies were done with very finely chopped up rosemary and fresh lemon juice.  You could use oil but I don’t.
This is going to be so yummy for lunch tomorrow

stop drooling.  That’s the finished version of the veggie ragout.  I can’t even explain the smell of my kitchen right now, but I am so excited for lunch tomorrow.  I kicked it up a notch with some rosemary.
