Easter Dinner

I love that Jeff likes to cook and he is dang good at it too. For Easter dinner he made Pork Chops with Leeks in Mustard Sauce. He also made some roasted tomatoes. Dinner was delicious. Jeff's note: I got the pork recipe from the May issue of Bon Appetit and the tomatoes from watching 5 Ingredients on FoodTV.

Farmer's Market

This morning Jeff and I got up early and went to the Farmer's Market in Portland. We immediately headed over to the Pine State Biscuits booth. They have the best biscuit sandwiches. Jeff took me to Pine State Biscuits the first time I came up to Portland to visit him. I was very excited to find out they have a booth at the Farmer's Market on Saturdays. We both got the McIsley, which is fried chicken with pickles, mustard and honey. I usually don't like a lot of fried food, but I make an exception for this sandwich, it's delicious.

After a wonderful breakfast, we wandered around the market. We got some produce, including leeks, which I've never had before and I'm very excited to try them. We also bought some wonderful desserts. We had a stawberry and rhubarb tart and we bought some cookies at a place called Two Tarts. Yeah, we went a little crazy with the sweets, but it's a holiday weekend.

On a side note, I noticed on Facebook that our friend Elizabeth saw Keri Russell at the Farmer's Market this morning. I can't believe I missed her. I guess we'll just have to hang out at the Market every Saturday morning.
