Finally, the sun has broken through and we can begin to
really pack away our winter gear and bring out all things summer ! This Sunday is Father's Day, the official opening day for grilling. River Wave Foods Argentinean Chimichurri Sauce is a fabulous lemon, garlicky sauce that is traditionally served with steak in Argentina. Folklore tells of a Irishman named Jimmy McCurry who migrated to Argentina to fight along side General Jasson Ospina in Argentina's war for Independence from Spain. Legend has it had Mr McCurry invented this garlic lover's sauce and while the sauce bore his name the locals had a difficult time pronouncing it and soon "Jimmy McCurry Sauce" had morphed into Chimichurri Sauce. Oh those Irish! For those of you who are interested Argentina's Independence Day is celebrated on July 9th. One has to wonder what it is about July and independence, perhaps it just the perfect time of year for a Independence day picnic.Come by to see us on Saturday at the Vancouver's Farmer's Market and on Sunday at the Hillsdale Farmer's Market.
