Got up late so we had to head straight to the Athens Farmer’s Market.

Having finished our shopping,  we stopped at Big City Bread Cafe for brunch. I ordered the Burgundy Mushroom Quiche and Darren had the Meat Omelette, containing soprasetta, arugala & olives.

After putting away our bounty from the market, I began braising oxtails for dinner.  Quite sometime ago I purchased oxtails from Nature’s Harmony Farm through the online market Athens Locally Grown. I had absolutely no idea how to prepare them.   Poking around at some of my favorite locavore food blogs, I discovered Last Night’s Dinner posted a picture of  Braised Oxtails, her significant other had just made.  When we asked for the recipe, we were told that the preparation was based on a recipe from the Zuni Cookbook.  I had not heard of the cookbook.  So I added it to my wish list for our then impending anniversary.  The cookbook is wonderful and the recipe turned out great.  I served the oxtails on Red Mule Polenta de Georgia from Mills Farm
