When Elizabeth Winslow from Farmhouse Delivery invited me to be the chef for the happy hour evening at Rain Lily Farm, I jumped at the opportunity. Stephanie Scherzer and Elizabeth Winslow started Farmhouse Delivery in February 2009. Every first and third Wednesdays, they host a farm stand happy hour where you will get to tour the farm, buy freshly picked produce, eat some good food, taste some great beverages and just hang out. This is a super kid friendly event. 
For the evening, I made Thai Beef Salad w/ cucumber, green onions and red onions from Rain Lily, some microgreens from Bella Verde. Those cucumbers were just amazing, I mean AMAZING.
Darrell brought some mixed micro greens to the farm that same evening and we mixed them in our mixed greens, the results? The most delicious beef salad I ever made. His micro Arugula are the best. They are so pungent and spicy. Every time I bit into it in the salad, it always makes me want some more. If you haven't tried his greens in the salad, you are missing out. A little will go a long way too.
We grilled some Sirloin from Bastrop Cattle Company. Their Sirloin Steak is just perfect, very lean and tender. I ate five servings of the salad that night.
I had a great time, my son had a great time. He ate three (or more) cucumbers and two peaches with a few pieces of grilled beef, we were one happy family. See you again at the next happy hour.
