After shopping at the farmer’s market on Thursday, I stopped at the Glebe Meat Market to pick up lamb for a Jamie Oliver recipe.  We’ve decided to try and stop buying our meat from the grocery store and throw our support (and a few extra dollars) towards smaller (and local) producers.  It seemed a bit of a waste of my time to have gone all.the.way. to the Glebe at 37 weeks pregnant only to buy one small bag of meat.  So, I thought I’d pick up a few extras and then figure out what to do with it once I got home.

The sausage counter caught my eye - so I picked up two links of Andouille (I had no idea what it was or what it would taste like, but it looked interesting) and two links of Chorizo.

I flipped on the computer at home and started typing in ingredients that I had in the fridge.  Tappa tappa tappa.  I realized the Andouille was definitely more of a soup sausage, but I didn’t feel like making soup.  It’s August!  Finally, I found an easy pasta recipe that also required carrots - I had lots of carrots left over from the Jamie Oliver carrot recipe from the night before and they were already prepared.  Awesome.

I just wish I had bothered to take a photo because the whole meal was really delicious.  And the fresh tarragon?  YUM.  I love tarragon.
