Traffic Jam

We buy a lot of produce and meat from Sol Flower Farm and Herondale Farm.  Yesterday we hosted a private dinner party and so I set out early in the morning to get Filet Mignon at Herondale.  It was 100% grass-fed and cut that morning. Once Catherine paired it with Bordelaise sauce, brocollini, and herb gnocchi, it was even more delicious.

I had a very wet ride to the farm - it was pouring rain. At one point the road cuts through a farm and I was greeted by a large family of ducks and grazing cows.  I sat waiting for the ducks to get out of the road with the rain pouring down on my windshield. It made me very happy to live in the country.

I hear the rain is going to clear up and it should be a beautiful weekend.  Regardless, there is so much beauty in a rainy day on a farm.  Especially when you end the evening eating a gorgeous Filet Mignon.
