Dinner 7/8

Deep-Fried Baby Artichokes

Gazpacho

Iceburg Lettuce Salad
(dried cherries, pine nuts, garlic/miso/vegenaise dressing)

White Bean Stew
(great northern beans, cremini mushrooms, scapes, shallot, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, olive oil)

Pugliese Bread



sort of a mini-tapas night -- the orphan tomatoes made a fabulous soup, the scapes gave a big garlic hit to the white bean stew, and the saffron aioli made us wish there were more baby artichokes ;)
