Hydro Harvest Farm Megapost: The Sequel

We know it's been a while since the first Hydro Harvest Farm post, but we decided to really ramp up the suspense for Part II. And let me tell you, YOU COULD CUT THE TENSION IN HERE WITH A BUTTER KNIFE. Well folks, the wait is finally over. You've seen the vegetables fresh, now see them..........sauteed. In all seriousness, we're not the best cooks around (see turkey burgers below), but when you have veggies this good, it's hard to F them up.

This is one of the most recent meals we made, but we'll start with it, in case you don't scroll down.














For this one we used the red lettuce and arugula, topped with steak, strawberries, and blue cheese. Compared to the $3 bags of pre-washed and cut spinach we normally buy, these tasty greens were definitely an upgrade.















St. EATersburg isn't exactly destitute, but what we're trying to say is, we eat a lot of eggs. These 2 are sunny-side up, shooting the shit with sauteed peppers and onions from the farm. We also blended some of the really good herbs from Hydro with olive oil and poured it on there. That garlic chive is trying to get all fancy for the camera--god, what a show-off.















More eggs. This was probably later the same day, to be honest with you. More red lettuce and chives, Greek yogurt, hot sauce, wrap. I know we poked fun at the chives earlier, but that was just our own insecurity talking. We tried to sprinkle them on pretty much everything for a week. Why doesn't anyone need us like that??















Eggs, Swiss chard and some other crap (cheese?). Eat your heart out Jacques Pepin, we like our omelets country-style! We served this peasant dish on our "egg plate," i.e. we took a time-machine to Target in 1985 and spent $.99 on it. Thanks for the hot tip Ming Tsai! (Too soon?)
















Turkey burgers and baked sweet potato fries. This was honestly pretty gross. Move along, nothing to see here...
















Redemption, thy name is baby eggplant! We stir-fried the bok choy and eggplant and served it with fresh salmon cakes topped with sesame aioli. This was really good. The only downside of the meal is our Cuisinart still smells like fish. In fact, we wish we were eating this for dinner tonight, instead of eggs, dammit.

We'd like to dedicate this blog post to the fine folks at Hydro Harvest Farm, and whatever freaky-deaky Terminator II-style chickens lay those jumbo eggs we buy at Publix.



















You juicin' bro!
