Flavors of the Umpqua: Massaged Kale and Mango Salad
http://flavorsoftheumpqua.blogspot.com/2015/06/massaged-kale-and-mango-salad.html
Flavors of the Umpqua. Notes from a local kitchen. Thursday, June 4, 2015. Massaged Kale and Mango Salad. You won't believe how good this is! Massaged Kale and Mango Salad. My friend, Janet Catalano, has been making this salad for years. It's adapted from a recipe Nigella Lawson shared on The Food Network. Janet doubles the fruit and adds a touch more honey. Toasting the pumpkin seeds is optional, but I like the extra crunch it gives them. 2 tablespoons olive oil. Juice from ½ a large lemon.

Flavors of the Umpqua. Notes from a local kitchen. Saturday, June 13, 2015. This must be the earliest season ever for blueberries. So early that I missed opening day at Haven Farm in Tyee. I made a note to check their website on Friday (6/12) as they opened on 6/18 last year, but I didn't get around to looking until today. They opened yesterday! I couldn't have gone even if I had known, but they say there are still plenty of berries to pick and more varieties coming on soon. M W F Sat 8:00 am to noon.

Flavors of the Umpqua: Steamed Eggs
http://flavorsoftheumpqua.blogspot.com/2015/04/steamed-eggs.html
Flavors of the Umpqua. Notes from a local kitchen. Tuesday, April 7, 2015. I love being able to buy ultra-fresh eggs at my local farmers market. The bright yellow-orange yolks, loaded with vitamin A and omega 3 fatty acids, give a lovely golden color to yeast breads, pancakes. And even homemade ice cream. The sturdy whites whip up light and fluffy in meringues. And scrambled eggs never looked so pretty or tasted so good. The peel came off in big pieces with no white clinging to it. No pockmarked eggs!
