Hi
BFM Fans!
So,
what are you having at your cookout or picnic or July 4th meal?
I say you have to have pickles and condiments and hot sauces. Number 1 Sons has
the FULL lineup of cucumbers and kimchi...hint hint. Chinese Market has three kinds of chili condiments.
Try the new Bread & Butter Pickle at
Number 1 Sons. Here is the inside story from Stephanie:
"As you've probably seen, for years we’ve been playing around with a classic bread & butter style pickle and we think we’ve finally made our ideal (non-spicy) version. Speared cucumbers are pickled in a lightly sweet brown sugar brine with carrots, celery and red onion and lots of pickling spice and celery seed"
How about a Creamy
Dill Cucumber Salad
Red, White and Blue
berries/fruits? I often start with that to get into the July 4 mood.
If you into a baking mood, make a blueberry fruit galette from
my friend Cathy Barrow, the queen of pies. If you don't feel like baking
your own, get a wonderful pie from Whisked. (They started their bakery at our
market).
Can you have a July 4 meal without sweet
corn? (Not in my family, you cannot). Lucky for us, Garner Produce
starts their corn plantings early so that we always have some corn for you. I
will post lots of different corn recipes all summer but this week I would just
simmer or grill it and swipe the ear in good butter with salt and pepper.
Or if you want something a bit different: I love to slick the
corn with mayo, sprinkle it with hot smoked paprika, salt and pepper and
finally drizzle on some lime.
Pasta Salads? Yes! Start here. or here.
