There's A Storm Coming

To honor Leap Day (February 29th), I wanted to throw up a little something I’ve been working on for a while. 

In light of the recent Fantastic Four casting announcement, I did this redrawing of Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm as the Kang the Conqueror version of her character from the Ultimate Universe.

Hope you like it!

Leaping lizards, frogs and rabbits, today is February 29th, which means it’s Leap Day 2024! Leap Days occur only once every four years when an extra day is added to the end of February, except in century years that aren’t exactly divisible by 400. This formula was adopted in 1582 to better synchronize the number of days in the Gregorian calendar with the Earth’s orbit of the sun for both religious and agricultural reasons. Aligning the calendar with the sun’s path proved crucial for farmers who need to follow a precise schedule for growing purposes. Leap days help ensure that they plant and harvest their crops at the right time during the right seasons. So, in recognition of this agriculturally significant, quadrennial event, here is a foursome of ideas to get you *leaping* out of your seat to the farmers market this weekend. 1) Four Step Italian Wedding Soup Traditionally speaking, it has been the norm for men to be the ones “popping the question” when proposing marriage. But legend has it that in 5th century Ireland Saint Brigid of Kildare asked Saint Patrick to grant an exception to this rule by allowing women to propose once every four years on Leap Day. If a man refused a woman’s proposal on February 29th, he was to compensate her with twelve pairs of gloves to hide her ringless finger.  Whether or not you’re considering getting down on bended knee anytime soon, making Italian Wedding Soup from scratch is a wonderfully warming way to romance your partner – or to pamper yourself with a simmering bowl of savory goodness:  Ingredients:

½ pound Roaming Acres ground bison meat

1 large egg from Yellow Bell Farm, lightly beaten 

2 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs 

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese 

½ teaspoon dried basil 

½ teaspoon onion powder 

5 ¾ cups Yellow Bell Farm chicken broth 

2 cups thinly sliced escarole from 4E Green Farm 

1 cup uncooked orzo pasta or any small-sized pasta from La Trafila Pasta

⅓ cup finely chopped Sun Sprout Farm carrot

Steps:

Combine ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, and onion powder in a bowl. 

Shape beef mixture into 3/4-inch balls and place on parchment-lined tray. 

Heat broth in large pot over medium-high heat until boiling. Stir in escarole, orzo, carrot, and meatballs and return to boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook at slow boil for about 10-minutes, stirring frequently until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite. 

Serve hot and enjoy!

2) Four Ingredient Salmon, Potato & Broccoli Sheet Pan Dinner  This four-ingredient sheet pan dinner is so quick and easy that it’ll make you *leap* for joy! Sheet pan dinners are not only super convenient to make, they’re also eco-friendly because they require just the oven to be lit and produce only one dirty pan to clean, saving both energy and water.

Ingredients

Broccoli from Jersey Farm Produce cut into small florets

Potatoes from Sun Sprout Farm cubed into 1- to 1½-inch pieces

Salmon fillets from American Pride Seafood

Seasoning: Garlic, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt & pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.

Place broccoli and potatoes on baking sheet and drizzle with two tablespoons Kontoulis/Arlotta olive oil. Sprinkle with finely chopped garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Toss it all together then spread it out on baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes. 

While vegetables are roasting, season salmon fillets. Remove tray from oven and nestle salmon in between vegetables. Roast for another 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender and salmon is cooked to your liking. 

Serve immediately.

3) Four Cheese Pizza Pizza ai quattro formaggi (aka four cheese pizza) originated in the Campania region of Italy where it was first made with a combination of mozzarella, gorgonzola, fontina and parmesan cheese melted together. Over time, different parts of the country developed their own versions of this iconic pizza using a variety of local cheeses. But you don’t have to *leap* over the pond to Italy to grab a slice, as Wave Hill Breads 4 Formaggio Pizza is parbaked and locally made with fresh and shredded mozzarella, parmesan, asiago and Romano cheese. Simply take one from the freezer, pop it in the oven at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes and enjoy!  4) Four Syllable Veggies  Here’s your Leap Day Word of the Day – Quadrisyllabic. Quadrisyllabic means any word with four syllables which, of course, happens to include four currently in-season vegetables. These locally grown veggies are easy to spot at our farmstalls and work wonderfully in the recipes listed below:     Cauliflower -- Cauliflower, Potato and Leek Soup Celeriac -- Creamy Celeriac Mash Romanesco -- Parmesan Roasted Romanesco Rutabaga -- Oven-Baked Rutabaga Fries We hope you enjoy these four-tifying Leap Day foodie ideas. While we await another four years for the next Leap Day to transpire, we wish you a four-tuitous weekend full of four-tunate finds at the farmers market.
