A market customer gave me a book to read a couple weeks ago and I love it. An Everlasting Meal by Tamar Adler is a book I will read again and again. Throughout the season, I’m constantly looking for and testing recipes, creating new recipes, and trying to keep us all excited and energized about each vegetable in the garden. For the most part, I try to keep things relatively simple. But, sometimes we just get out of control. I looked at a magazine recipe recently and it was two pages long because the ingredient list went on and on! That’s simply too much! This book is bringing me back to basics, but simply delicious basics. Along with a few stories, discussions on food and cooking, and a smattering of recipes, this book has reminded me of something. When you start with quality ingredients, you don’t need to overdo or overthink anything. Simple can be, and is, delicious. Two nights ago, I toasted bread and rubbed it with fresh garlic…warmed up some homemade tomato sauce, rested some goat cheese on top, and heated it in the oven until the cheese was soft to my touch…and sautéed some of the last zucchini in our fridge. That was dinner, plain and simple. A couple quality ingredients resulted in a wonderful and tasty meal. If you want to check out this book, Prairie Pages has ordered a couple copies which will be available on Monday.
This will be the last market for FREE Face Painting by Amanda! Be sure to stop down and get some camo, puppies, or whatever else you’d like!!
There will be some lovely sweets at market this weekend. Sweet Peas is featuring Caramel Apples. Venner Farm has her super yummy Pecan Sandies. Hummingbird will have her Lemon Rosemary Shortbread. Nancy’s Nest will have Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies. And, at B&G Produce you’ll find Sugared Lemon Blueberry Buttermilk Biscuits with Citrus Glaze.
Our two meat vendors have a lot to offer as well. Nancy’s Nest is promoting her Beef Bundle sale again (see details below). Hanisch Farms is bringing their trailer full of goods! It’s a great time to stock up and also to place your holiday order of turkey, ham, duck, and goose for the special Thanksgiving market on November 17 market.
Don’t worry…we still have plenty of vegetables available. Hanisch Farms and B&G Produce have a really nice variety of items from arugula to cabbage to carrots to pie pumpkins.
As a market, we accept credit cards and EBT. Shop vendors who accept cc/EBT and pay once before you leave! Stop at the Market Manager booth to start the process and have fun shopping.
