A little official business first…
Julie's kitchen gives two thumbs up to Food Rockz' first stab at molecular gastronomy. Here he blogs about his strawberry "raviolis". How delicious does that sound? He's a natural kitchen wizard, or should I say scientist? Prepare to be impressed.
Second on the Julie's Kitchen agenda is the screening of "Eat at Bill's", a documentary on the local food movement through the study of Monterey Market in Berkeley and its owner, Bill Fujimoto. This is going on tomorrow in Venice and best of all, it's by donation. I'm thinking that this looks like a great way to spend my afternoon.
Here's what I'll be noshing on this week thanks to the Santa Monica Farmers' Market:
1 block of Organic Spring Hill Raw Sage Cheddar
1 block of Organic Spring Hill Mike's Firehouse Cheddar – Y'all know how I love a little heat.
1 head of radicchio – I'm thinking grilled in a salad.
3 ears of corn
1 lb of mixed baby squash
2 avocados – I got one Fuerte and one Pinkerton. Sometimes it's nice to have something other than a Hass.
1 bunch Italian Parsley
1 bunch Cilantro
1 bunch of basil
3 Cucumbers – I mean 3 GIANT cucumbers!
4 lbs of Navel Oranges
1 bunch of Russian Kale – Isn't it a beautiful shade of purple? Here's a close up shot.
I'm starting to see the heirloom tomatoes trickle into the market, but can't wait for tomato season to be in full swing. Caprese salad here I come! Until then, I'm still very, very excited about my Russian Kale – oh and the sage cheese is so delicious too. Stay tuned…

I’m crazy for sage cheese, get it at the Burbank Farmers Market.

We love this market too! We try to make it up there more often during the summer. Looks like you got some fabulous stuff!

I’m so addicted to the sage cheddar that it’s a problem. I made some potato and sage cheddar pierogies yesterday (post coming soon) and the sage cheddar made all the difference. Mac and cheese would be good too. What do you do with yours?

I’d trade you for the San Pedro Fish Market any day!

I have it with the herb pita chips they sell down a few stands from the cheese. I mix and match the different flavored cheeses with the different flavored pita chips.
