Ode to a perfect meal


   Have you ever had a meal that captured your imagination and your taste buds at first bite? This was one such meal for me. Myself, Shaun, and Casey scoured the PDX farmers market for some of the most unique ingredients we could afford and brought it all back for a grilled feast. We had Purple Italian artichokes, asparagus, garlic scapes, fiddle head ferns, king oyster mushrooms, heirloom purple garlic and onions, and the infinitely tasty Mitake Mushrooms. The omnivores also ate some sustainably farmed elk meat. Paired with several local wine varieties, this meal was killer.
