Let's start cooking them....
Hi BFM fans,
Happy October! It was delightfully chilly this am- I needed a long sleeve shirt! I am ready to welcome the season of pumpkins (but I am not keen on pumpkin spice!) and warm stews. I look forward
to hardy hot food to warm us and our hearts. First up for love are delicata
squash: Read what Heidi Swanson says about her favorite squash and peruse her best
17 recipes for them: Parmesan Crusted Delicata Squash, Sesame Roasted Maple
Chipotle Delicata Squash, Twice Baked Delicata Squash with Za'atar roasted
chickpeas are just three of them.
"Delicata
squash is one of my favorite seasonal vegetables. The name describes it well,
the skin is delicate and regardless of being baked, fried or steamed, does not
have to be removed to be eaten. Delicata is native to the Americas, but despite
that long history, it apparently fell out of favor in the 1930s due to lack of
availability due to crop disease. It wasn't until the early 2000s that a disease-resistant
varietal became popular and today it's again relatively easy to find."
"You
ready? This is the time of year to start rolling out your best delicata squash
recipes. If you're a long-time reader, you know how much I love this scalloped varietal. Partly
because it's delicious, but also because it's a breeze to prepare. Not only can
you eat the flesh, you can also go for the peel, and it's arguably the best
part. You know where it gets golden and deeply toasted at the edges? Yeah,
that's hard to beat. Here are seventeen delicata squash recipes to inspire, and
get you through the cold months. Enjoy!"

Swirly Girl Creamery: Goat Feta started last week. Did you get any? It is
wonderful.Mark says their mixed milk 'camembert" is at its
peak flavor because the cows have been on summer grass for a long time and the
milk is very creamy. The slighly acidic goat's milk is a great marriage to the
creamy cow mil and voilà! a great camembert. Have you tried their mixed milk Romano style - slyly
called Onamor cheese?
We have been eating the superb camembert, the Mooster and
or the Morbier and their cheddar as part of our lunch every day with Reid's
green grapes The Tommy Goat is made in a young parmesan style. Morbier is mixed
milk marvel -- that caused a French diplomat to throw a basket of Morbier at
Market at another market. It is a great condiment cheese sprinkled on just
about everything. Try the funkier Firetruck and Cowttin. Firetruck is a salty
grater and Cowttin is like a French triple cream.
Robin's Tip: We take the cheese we want to eat out of the fridge at least two
hours in advance. Cheese needs to be at room temperature so you can taste all
the flavors. This is particularly important for the camembert.
Groff's Content: lots of beef cuts,
sausages, pork, chicken this week for your grill. And yes, they do have
suckling pig.
