I was feeling better tonight, and so I got up and spent a little time in the kitchen fixing myself something to eat. I thought I would share, as it turned out very good.

Over the summer I did a bit of research on Moroccan flavors and found I loved the combination of citrus with spices, tonight that sounded very appealing so I made a quick pork stir fry with that in mind.

(in the order they were added to the pan)
Parsnips
Onions
Garlic
Sliced pork
Salt & Pepper
Turmeric
Cumin
Satsuma oranges
Olives
Cherry tomatoes

The flavor was very subtle and I was so pleased with it.

Wow that looks fabulous. Pretty great for fast food.

A Tamale Festival is happening tomorrow and there are 3 Farmers markets AND an amazing Creme Brulee truck (food truck, only features Creme Brulee) will be at each market.

I miss CA and NY but loving Phoenix right about now.

That sounds so amazing. I love food related festivals... I am wondering how many of us here wait each year for similar festivals. Personally, I try to make it to Whidbey Island here for the Mussel Festive held in Coupeville.

Same with me, there are an assortment of festivals that love in CA. The Gilrory Garlic Festival is one of the best. The State Fair is pretty awesome too.

What are some of the things that they do with the mussels?

Do you also have any oyster festivals up there?

I would be tempted to travel to Maine for a lobster festival.

There is not an oyster festival that I am aware of, although if there were I would go. I love seafood.

The Penn Cove Mussel festival is really amazing. The local restaurants all prepare their own mussel chowder recipes and for $10 you can tour all of them for tasting. They also house several guest chefs to give demonstrations on how to cook with mussels, and offer tours of the local mussel farm, as well as there being a wonderful street fair with merchants and performers. In the evening they also do an art walk and the local businesses stay open late for the festival goers who are winding down for the evening.

Here is the link if anyone is interested.

An oyster festival would be a great event for the region.
