pesto is the concentratred Italian version-- just a teaspoon needed per
serving.

Chili Bears UPDATE
FROM CAITLIN:
The popular Chiracha sauce is back! It's now in a big chili bear. We've
been getting lots of peppers from The Farm at Sunnyside + a few other
farms. Hot Chocolate + Lemon Drop are the current VERY HOT chili bears.
We've now done four batches of Local #1 -- the mix of peppers changes
each time we make it!

potatoes and sweet potatoes. Butternut, green acorn, kabocha and
spaghetti squash. Pumpkins. Red and green kale. Asian greens. Small
yellow summer squash, october beans.
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. When Dean was thinking about an alternative to parmesan for
his bean soup last week, he unexpectedly chose the Vermeer, a Dutch
style cheese. A few weeks ago 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. That Blue Suede
Moo makes a great dip. I have been using it with string beans
too.
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 had a family of Danish visitors at
market 2 weeks ago 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.

the Bonus Program for EBT/SNAP, WIC and Senior FMNP.
