Hey, we will have local Miso Sunday!



Hello BFM fans, 

Keepwell is back
this Sunday-- with a rainbow of different vinegars colors., all fermented from
local fruits and vegetables. Robin is addicted to the Bitter Lemon which she
sneaked into France and is a huge hit. You can learn more about them here. Rumor has
it that there will be Miso as well as their vinegars and Walnut Bay sauce.
Their Miso has only been available to a few, very select restaurants until now.
(They may have their tallow and local sunflower soap too.)

chanterelle, Lion’s Mane double extraction, and Hungarian Mushroom Stew.

Tip:
Oyster mushrooms have a more delicate taste then shiitake, lighter texture and
are excellent in omelets, soups, or quiches. Robin says: they roast very well
and that concentrates the flavor.

garlic, new gold potatoes, red gold potatoes, magic molly potatoes, green

growing and all of them, sweet and hot, are superb.

all the bits and pieces of chopped vegetables, meats, cheeses and herbs.

world, Robin’s favorite yogurt and chocolate pudding.   Nutty in flavor, Alpine-style Tommes, Swirly Girl, Mesquite
smoked Smokey Isabelle, funky, fresh, spreadable Cowttin.  Soft-ripened,
ash-covered Winter Morning has a creamy center, ricotta, quark, and mixed milk

for a day. Scratch are this week's experiments that may turn into a regular,
named cheese. Mild flavored, mixed milk Colby is a great melter.
