My Christmas Gift . . . . oh my gosh!!! A SOUS VIDE MACHINE!!!!!

I was floored this Christmas. Mark gave me a Sous Vide Machine. I am now in high tech foodie heaven. This thing (a very high tech water oven) will cook meats, vegetables and some fruits perfectly through temperature controlled water immersion. Think of Thomas Keller of the "French Laundry" when you see this in your kitchen . . . . yes . . . cooking in our household will now go from three stars to five stars with this contraption.




So this is what I cooked tonight . . . . Narrangansett Turkey Breast with pesto mayo on a bed of spring greens, hothouse tomatoes and garlic croutons . . . . the turkey was to die for. One of the best meat dishes that I have ever cooked. Next up is our lamb, chicken and the last duck that I have saved for this winter. Oh, and I have some great baby back pork ribs from Tide Mill Farm . . . . may put those in tonight and have them on Tuesday. Love this machine . . . . Thanks so much my big Honey!!!!

Christmas Turkey and Availabilities for 12/17

Although a bit late . . . . our power was out most of the day yesterday due to the huge storm that has been crossing the country over the last few days. Strangely we did not get snow but warm thundery rain (almost 8 inches!!!!) and lots and lots of wind.

We still have some turkey's available for Christmas. Our local paper wrote a great article on our farm. Because of this article . . . the turkeys are selling fast so please contact me soon to reserve one.

Above is a photo of our Thanksgiving Narrangansett Turkey prior to cooking our big meal. Since I have had so many requests on how to prepare a heritage turkey ~ I will be uploading a video later this week. We had some technical difficulties with the video but everything should be up soon via You-Tube.

Here are the availabilites for this week. Please have all orders to me by this evening. Please return all glass jars for both Tide Mill and Olde Sow farm.

Thanks so much!!!

Raw Jersey Cream- I am not offering cream this week but I would like to make a suggestion... I suggest that you order a 1/2 gallon of milk at $3 per gallon versus 1 pint of cream at $4 per pint. There is at least a pint of cream on each 1/2 gallon and it pours off quite easily!
