Ok, Who can tell me what these are????????? I got them at my farmers market. (hopefully the pic is clear enough) BIG TIME bragging rights if you get this one, I had never heard of, or seen them.
An American classic;
Steak and Eggs. (grass fed ground beef browned in O. butter and 2 omega 3 eggs, also fried in some organic butter. (sea salt, onion powder, ancho chili pepper powder, on the beef)
A slice of local avocado, some berries and my vitamins. I'm ready for a good day ;-)
Random; was hungry this morning because I did not eat after 5pm yesterday. So breakfast was at 8:15.
And lastly; Smile a lot today! ;-)

Will take a picture and post on my blog! have a great day!
Wait, I think I got it--LONGANS?? Whats my prize, dinner?
Sarena,
Sounds like yummt breakfast. You've got me stumped; what's "zaatar"?
Sorry, try again not Longans.
No dinner for you ;-)

Well I thought I was right! Am I atleast on the right track??
Zaatar is a middle eastern spice blend (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Za'atar)with as many varieties as people. I have some I brought back from Jerusalem this winter. I purchased it in a small spice shop located within the Ben Yehuda Market or "shuk"

I lifted these photos, thanks to google and flickr!!
My speciality is not horticulture, but I'd venture to say that yes you are on the right track.
Zaatar. hmmm...many varieties?
A kind of middle eastern curry? ;-)
I must have tried it or tasted it. I've been to the shuk and have family there.
Marc
Some type of fish egg?
Jay,
Not a fish egg. ;-)
For the Friday I will tell you it's a.....CHERRY.
Anybody know what variety?
Marc
They look kinda yuck to be completely honest :( I hope for you they taste better!
Marc,
The mystery pods don't seem to have any seeds in them, so I'm guessing they're eggs of a sea creature, probably an invertebrate, because I don't see a clear yolk. But beyond that I haven't a clue :)
The outside looks like grapes!
BTW, I've started a brand new Flickr photo group Native Nutrition and we'd love to have your food and related photos, if you care to share :)
Marc:
I've never seen these!!! Do tell us what this is!!
Would you consider posting a little more about your food planning? I just started a new job and I wake up at 5:40, on the road by 6:40am. No way can I eat your breakfast! :-) What are some portable alternatives for lunch /breakfast (besides salad) that won't scare my co-workers?
Thanks!
Naomi,
To be perfectly honest, they are not my favorite ;-)
They have a consistency of a leechy. These "Asian cherries" do very well in this region as they do not require a lot of water and are very hardy.
I love being surprised, and that day at the farmers market seeing something unfamiliar made me happy. I bought it from the same guy that sells the starfruit.
(see previous post)
Have a great Sunday.
Bryan,
Like I said to Sarena, they are Cherries. Crazy right? I'll be happy to share photos.
Anonymous;
Great question and would be hapy to give you some sugestions.
I'll make it into a post ok?
Thanks for visiting my blog.

Hey so I make pesto a lot when the fresh herbs are in season! I do not use cheese at all and thought I would share that it comes out just as well. I was also once taught that you can sub in a cucumber to replace some of the fat--EVOO or pignolias (or other nuts). I made a spinach/basil pesto the other day that was awesome. Couldn't tell ya proportions though!!
spinach
basil
few slices cukes
garlic
lemon juice
EVOO
pignolias
salt
Sarena that sounds delicious. I don't always put in the cheese. You're 100% right, it's still fantastic. Never heard about the cucumber....cool! You kow I love me some cucumber ;-)
