Super Gay Greenmarket Gourmet!


I’m making a stir-fry tonight with vegetables I picked up at the Greenmarket on Saturday. I pick up whatever they have on hand that happens to strike my fancy, which changes seasonally and with my mood. Rinsing the vegetables just now, I realized I have the makings of a rainbow:

gayveggies

RED = bell pepper
ORANGE = carrots
YELLOW = squash
GREEN = broccoli
PURPLE = cauliflower

I am sorely tempted to add some food coloring to my rice to turn it blue.

OMG I could plate each vegetable in a single row and make a rainbow flag! Dinner party menu for next year’s Pride, for sure. :D

    This afternoon I bought carrots, green beans and green peas from the travelling garden lady.
    I doubt any of it will last long enough to be cooked.

    I’m gonna have to tweak this:

    Bell Peppers for Red & Yellow. Carrots for Orange. Cucumbers for Green. Blue is gonna be tricky–blue corn is about the most authentic I could find. (Sadly, no one cares about poor Indigo.) Bizarrely, red onions or cabbage will work nicely for Violet.

    For a fruit salad version:
    Strawberries, Mandarin orange wedges, bananas, green grapes, blueberries, blackberries (indigo at last!), purple grapes.
