June 29: What food!!!

Amazing Homemade Ricotta Gnocchi
It was a foodie extravaganza, unpreplanned, as always. Wines came in abundance, too, as seems to be the case each week.

Pictures of some of the foods follow after the listing.

It's too bad we have no audio record of the oohs, ahhhhs, and outright squeals that greeted the deviled eggs, and the yummmms all around for all the other delights, including these (from the paper slips describing the dishes):
  • Homemade gnocchi, with homemade ricotta as a prime ingredient
  • Pistachio nuts and sunflower seeds
  • Vegan blueberry pie (Blueberries, Ginger, Sugar, Wheat & White Flour, Cornstarch & Salt)
  • Green Beans Vinaigrette
  • Black-eyed Peas (meat-free)
  • Mediterranean Coucous w/Lentil Salad (w/vinaigrette, tomatoes, arugula, mint) - and Feta
  • Cucumbers & Dill w/garlic and lemon & a bit of Feta
  • Last Spring 09 greens from Campsie garden w/lemon mustard vinaigrette
  • Blueberry (barely) cornmeal poundcake from Molly Wizenberg's A Homemade Life
  • Buttermilk Vanilla ice cream - local pasteurized cream and milk, Elmwood eggs
  • Blue-Black Sauce for cake or ice cream
  • Polenta with sundried tomato/onion/bacon/cream sauce
  • Polenta with garlicky greens and pecans (ovo-lacto-vegetarian)
  • Reed Valley Orchard Black Raspberries and Blueberries - Picked Today. Finger Food for Tasting

Boone Tavern Spoon Bread, the 1950s recipe

We have tried spoonbreads (soft, luscious, buttery—described by James Beard as a "heavy, dense soufflé") as Cornbread Supper mainstays before, and used great recipes, but the spoonbreads always did what spoonbreads (and soufflés) do: deflate. Through serendipity, and thanks to a Cornbread Supperian, I lucked into the old Boone Tavern (Berea College) recipe for spoonbread, and it is far less droopy. Perhaps Boone Tavern developed an approach to spoonbread that preserves all its goodness while still working for a busy restaurant. In any case, with thanks to Kentucky food and foodways author and guru John van Willigen, here's an excellent recipe for that can be doubled, tripled, and quadrupled to feed spoonbread to a crowd. It did just that on Monday, February 25, 2013. From Richard T. Hougen. Look No Further: A cookbook of favorite recipes from Boone Tavern Hotel, Berea College, Kentucky.

There's a lot more specific information on this website: look in the sidebars and you may find answers to your questions. New people come almost every week. We do have corn-something on the table every week. Usually it's Kentucky black skillet cornbread, vegetarian and naturally gluten-free. Cornbread Suppers tend to start very close to 6 PM. If you come later, you will probably find things to eat, but there may not be many options. Every once in a while, especially in July and August but other times as well, something will change and Cornbread Supper will not be at 250 Campsie Place in Lexington, Kentucky at ...
