your pickle. Deep fried pickles are good too. Try the new
recipes on the Chile Bears based on the most recent harvest
peppers. The medium hot with chocolate peppers is my current
fave.
WHISKED: Jenna
says: Wow, what a chilly weekend. We shivered through the markets
on Saturday and Sunday, and were very thankful for those of you who
came out through the gloom to get your pies. Pumpkin pies especially
were a big hit - we're in the heart of pumpkin season now.
This week we have our pear cinnamon pie on the menu. Sweet pears get
spiced up with cinnamon and sugar - an autumnal combination that's
perfectly appropriate for this time of year. If you're a fan of pears,
this pie is definitely for you.

KESWICK: What I like about the Keswick stand is that they
have such a huge range of cheeses that I can always find something new
every week.. Last week it was the excellent Blue Suede Moo,Tallegio and
the Croton (for those of us who love French Epoisse -a stinky, creamy,
runny winner) that caught my eye and found their way to my fridge.
Cheddar, Calverley, Wallaby, Vachino Bianca, Bovre, Tomme Sweet
Tomme , Carrock. Some are Jersey cow milk, some are a mix of
Jersey and goat milk Sample them all.
And if you love yogurt, be sure to check
this. Mark's Pimento Cheese is a Southern
staple and makes a great Kimcheese burger.. Chileheads, alert. I get
your Dragon's Breath. Cream cheese? No, it's quark, what cream cheese
aspires to be. We a family of Danish visitors at market
last week and they were very excited to see the quark -- and Zac was
very amused by their Danish pronunciation of it.
PANORAMA:
Baguettes and croissants, breakfast pastries and lots of breads. Breton
specialties like Kouign Amann and the new Crois-Nut.French breakfast
pastries like palmiers, almond croissants plus the plain and chocolate
crosisants, baguettes, the olive oil buns that grace the 25 dollar
hamburgers at Central and the Rustiques they serve you at Citronelle.
Sandwich breads, too. If they are out of a bread you crave, ask them to
save one for you for next week. Late risers: they have lots of whole
wheat, multigrain and sourdough boules and loaves that sell out early.
Please spread the word about the new Bonus Program for
EBT/SNAP, WIC and Senior FMNP.
