JIA-CHI

I bought a whole chicken through Silver Lake Farms CSA.  The chicken was from New Frontier Family Farm out in Chino, and was sustainably and organically raised.  Having never cooked a whole chicken before, I thought this was a perfect piece of meat to start with.  I implored the help of the girls from the Manzanita house to help me out.

Rachel collected some sage, thyme, and rosemary from her yard.  With the herbs, onions, lemons, and garlic, we stuffed the chicken and roasted it.

Amy carved up the chicken.  I got the wishbone.

Arugula Beet Salad, Roasted Potatoes, and Graham on the side.

the first of, what we hope, many shareholder potlucks.  Tara of Silver Lake Farms graciously invited the shareholders to her beautiful house.  Even the bunnies came!

potlucks are easy.  everyone brought:

- a dish or beverage that serves 4

- a serving utensil

- plates, cups, utensils, and cloth napkins

- a zero-waste intention

new hobbit steps.

Even the farmers who provide our goods were there!  Alex Weiser of Weiser Family Farms in Tehachapi was in attendance.  Tara also read out a message from Craig Underwood of Underwood Family Farms in Moorpark.
