Did you see this article about heirloom apples? It could have been written by the Reid family. http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/home/apple-prince-tom-burford-wakes-sleeping-beauties/2013/10/22/d8b446ec-34fd-11e3-be86-6aeaa439845b_story.html
****Not too late to Take Halloween back for APPLES. *****
Yes, the kids will want them. I gave out 75 kid galas last year and only one kid said no. The rest were thrilled. You will get a GREAT price if you buy a bushel or half bushel from Reid to reserve kid sized galas or other apples to pick up from REID Sunday. email suzanne@reidsorchardwinery.com by Saturday noon.

New and Notable:
*Fractal Romanesco or Romanesque caulflower at Truck Patch. Their whorled heads have been delighting cooks (and mathematicians) since Roman times. You can blanch the florets in boiling water, remove them, drain and then saute in olive oil with sliced garlic and some crushed red pepper. Grate Pecorino Romano over it and serve. Add a chopped anchovy to the oil to up the umami flavor. Some capers are nice. And this makes a good pasta sauce too.
*Panorama's Damien is baking real French Macarons in 5 or 6 flavors. What are they? Two almond meringues (no flour) biscuits enclose a ganache or flavored buttercream. Sort of like oreos that died and went to heaven and were transmuted into angels. Try the Madeleines dipped in teas for a Proustian experience. Where will those tea infused crumbs take you?
*Green Tomatoes at all the stands. The cold weather has slowed down the last of the red tomatoes but it is bringing up the green ones. They are wonderful fried in panko crumbs or cornmeal. So lemony. Or made into chutney or jam…..

*Carnivores: Painted Hand has great soup bones -- very meaty - I simmered up lots of broth a few days ago -- roast the bones and onions and carrots first before you simmer them. After you make the broth, be Italian and use the meat for pasta sauce. Humanely raised Veal is back at her stand. See below.

PAINTED HAND: Humanely raised rose Veal is back this week. Lots of great soup bones -- perfect for this weather. Goat, lamb, eggs,
Sandy writes: "They were Holstein Jersey crosses from first-time heifers. Holstein farmers like to breed their first time cows to smaller breeds for easier births. These bull calves (and even the females) are not economically viable for beef production, but perfect for veal as they reach harvest weight weight quicker than the smaller milk breed such as purebred Jerseys. This season I have been procuring all of my calves from a single farm less than two miles away from a family that has been milking cows for three generations.
Unlike commercially raised veal, these animals don't travel hundreds of miles from the place of their birth to where they are raised and then trucked hundreds of miles away to be processed. This year I also switched to a new USDA processor which is both Animal Welfare Approved and Pennsylvania Certified Organic meaning their standards of handling and cleanliness higher. An added bonus, it's closer to the farm, meaning the animals spend less time in transport and the farm's carbon footprint is reduced."
