Subject: BFM: Meet the New Pickle Central
Hi
BFM Fans
THE BIG BRINE: Inspired by our old friends at Number 1 Sons
(now sadly closed), Robert Andres makes pickles, curtido, krauts and
kimchi.Damien at Panorama called to tell us about him as soon as he heard Sons
was stopping at the end of August, Ted contacted him before any other market
could and one week after Number 1 Sons closed, he joined us. Some
examples: Deli Dill, Sweet and Spicy, Serranos, Jalapenos, Miso Ginger Kraut,
Original Curtido, Pickled Red Onion, Pickled Daikon, Naked Kraut,
Kimchis.
I made a fabulous chicken salad last week with spicy mayo'd chicken from
Groff's Content, stuffed into a Garner Tomato and added Robert’s Miso
Ginger Kraut, cubed Pickled Daikon and topped with the irresistible Pickled Red
Onion.
Moon Cakes. Moon Cake. Moon Cakes. The Mid Autumn Festival started last week
and lasts for a few weeks all over Asia. People nibble moon cakes, sip
"hairy crab" tea and contemplate the moon.
Susan's team at CHINESE STREET MARKET is the center for Moon Cakes in the DC
area. This year she is making her version of Cantonese classics, She has a lot
to say about them on her website and rather than paraphrase it, I will link so
you can read all the fascinating details about the
tradition, history and descriptions of the cakes themselves. Making

WHISKED:
Jenna Says: We know everyone is going in hard for pumpkin spice
but we're currently craving our Molasses Spice Cookies. They are oh so
perfectly chewy. The dough is made from organic sugar cane, sweet molasses and
lots of the good stuff - real butter. We mix in some of our favorite warming
spics: cinnamon and nutmeg to make it taste like gingerbread. To top things
off, we sprinkle a little sugar on top and bake to perfection.
Pro Tip: If you're still craving pumpkin put a big scoop of
pumpkin ice cream between two of these and you will not be disappointed.
