Goodbye Pickin' Kind! Hello Pickin' Rosemary! |
With all the recent news and documentaries about eating locally grown and organic food, I prefer to use the freshest ingredients possible. My boyfriend is always researching ways he and I can become more self sustained; for example we have our own garden and experiment with different growing methods like
Aquaponics. Unfortunately, we are not growing
rosemary. I know the local grocery store sells packaged herbs, but I wanted fresh! So, you can imagine my surprise when I happened to stumble upon a bushel of fresh
rosemary right in my neighborhood.
Almost every Tuesday night we head to
Malony's Oyster Bar on Canal Street for Irish Night with
Pickin' Kind. This past Tuesday was the last time
Pickin' Kind would be playing as one of the members is starting fresh in Colorado with his lady. As I was leaving, I discovered a huge
rosemary bush, growing right out front of
Malony's Oyster Bar. I asked the owner, Jim, if I could take some for the upcoming
crock recipe. He begged me to take as much as I could, and said I could come back anytime for a beer & a branch!
