Last nights dinner was baked center cut pork chops, brushed with bbq sauce as they baked. And roasted radishes, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts with Cavenders seasoning.

Perhaps you lack patience for it.

Tonight Mr CE made NYT's roast tomato and white bean stew. It was featured in one of the recent What To Cook This Week/Weekend columns as a dish that had 4000+ 5-star ratings. My husband likes his animal-based proteins, so I half-heartedly suggested it but didn't push it...and last night when we were menu planning for the week, he said he wanted to make it. Amazing! I told him the only thing he should do differently next time is make a double batch. We had it with the Cook's Illustrated's almost no-knead bread, which I made for Thanksgiving, and it was delicious. (Also fantastic -- despite the fact it's Dec. 1 and we've had below-freezing temps, I was able to cut fresh parsley and thyme from the garden as he was prepping it. Oregano, marjoram, mint and scallions are also still going strong. Maybe rosemary, too, though I didn't look closely.)

We shopped the day before Thanksgiving at the Wednesday Farmers Market at Arizona and Second. My daughter lives in Chicago. She regularly shops at the Green City Market in Lincoln Park on Saturdays.

GCM is great, but doesn't hold a candle up the Santa Monica Farmers Markets! I used to live at Sixth & Broadway, so was a couple blocks from corky 's (and my) fav Bay Cities and not far from the farmers markets. I miss it, particularly this time of year!

Wednesday, Saturday or Sunday farmer's market? I used to live near the downtown farmer's market but loved biking to the Sunday market. And loved the meals I'd cook those days! Yours looked fantastic.

Sounds great. I love beans, but my partner will not come near beans of any kind so I don't get an opportunity very often, unless I'm out or willing to eat them all myself. The only chili he'll eat is Cincinnati (gag). And, wouldn't you know, my favorite soup is Navy bean? And, I come from a family in which baked beans are a holiday (any holiday) tradition. The best thing at Thanksgiving this year was green bean casserole.

From what it seemed, the dish came together very quickly. Maybe something to make for your lunches? I am not typically a baked bean person, but there is a very soft spot in my heart for SugarFire barbecue in St Louis and their baked beans, which are excellent! The last time I got them, we got back to my brother's house only just discover they had an accidentally omitted the beans Too far away to drive back and get replacements.
