Hi there, Swirly Girl
cheesemakers, Mark and Sara
Hi BFM fans
Lots
of things going on this week. Mark and Sara did a really charming
interview with Jonathan Bardzik on his Instagram. It is nice to see the
faces behind the masks again and find out how they came to be independent
cheesemakers and what makes their cheeses special?
Canners and "Freezers", there will also be another big tomato sale
this week at Garner's Produce; a box of mixed Romas (Firsts) - 25 pounds/$30.
Reserve by email.
How does Shenandoah keep their summer crisp head lettuce so sweet in the heat--
I often avoid green lettuce in the summer because it does not like the heat but
theirs is wonderful.
Reid now has FOUR summer apples; Earligold, Zestar, Pristine and Paula Reds.
And lots of peaches and berries. But not just fruit -- check out the
vegetables as well.

SWIRLY GIRL CREAMERY Here are
a few of the cheeses to look forward to on Sunday. Mark K is your guide.
Are you ready for a Greek Salad with tomatoes, cucumber and WHIPPED
feta? Yes, whip their feta and you will be delighted by what this simple
change in texture does. Mark also likes to spread Winter morning on cucumbers
- Morbier:
this semi soft cow cheese with a layer of vegetable ash is a shout out to
one of my favorite French cheeses and caused a formal French Diplomat to
get so riled she threw a basket of it AT Mark. He explains why in the
interview I linked in the first sentence to the email. He is bringing
lots to market Sunday so you can find out why for yourself.
- Winter
Morning is their most popular, a bloomy rind cheese that Mark loves
to spread.
- Feta,
Tomato Basil Bovre and Farmhouse cow cheeses are all great with pasta --
or on crackers.
- You
like Funky cheese, they have Firetruck and Cowttin. Firetruck is
a salty, hard, grater, Cowttin is similar to a triple cream.
The longer you keep it, the funkier it gets. Very French.
-
CUCINA AL VOLO: Want a cold pasta salad? The green
kale fusilli spirals are the very best -- they capture every little bit of
cheese, meats and vegetables. See the recipe at the top of the email. Pesto
Pasta is another great idea. Burrata and Butternut Squash Ravioli is an all
seasons fave to keep in your freezer.
Remember that a Pasta Primavera with bits of fresh
vegetables is a classic, light dish.

ravioli

ricotta ravioli

and Parmesan ravioli

butternut squash and mascarpone ravioli
- Egg
fettuccine
