Market Day

This week is both the Paper Chef competition and my week to cook a feast for my book group. Paper Chef's ingredients this month are blood oranges, brandy, crustacean, and rice. Thought this would be no problem, but couldn't find blood oranges anywhere. I found them two weeks ago at Trader Joes and Concord Produce, but I went everywhere today and none were to be found. I did find some blood orange vinegar at Whole Foods, so I'll use that. But I had great luck with Mexican white shrimp with heads on at Concord Produce, and am making risotto for one of the dishes for the book group, so I'll try a risotto cake for the Paper Chef too. Stay tuned!
