Subject: *LAST CHANCE* until spring



Hello BFM fans,

This Sunday is the last Market of the
year,  it is the last until spring to stock up on your favorites. Here is
a faster way to do turkey: butterfly
and burgers.
To add more flavor to your stuffing
why not add mushrooms? Stuffed,
they will be stuffed with flavor.

Adding root vegetables can change up your mash this year! And that COLOR!  

•   Market open until Sunday November 24th         

•  Music this week.    

• Bike House will be here from 11 to 1 to help you fix your bike.     

New and Notable:

• Dumplings & More is back--
       try their vegetable or their turkey or their pumpkin and pork for Thanksgiving
• Keepwell Vinegar is back with their new Gochujang, fermented korean hot sauce
• Langdon Wood Barrel Aged Maple Syrups and hot sauces
• Three NEW cheeses at KESWICK/SWIRLY GIRL
• Every Tday feast needs a variety of condiments, pickles and ferments. Number 1 Sons has about 20 every week. The Cider Masala curried beet is a vinegar pickle and just the bright purple color we all need to brighten up Thanksgiving tables.

What Should You Stock Up on?

• Apples last a good month in the fridge if you put them in a thick plastic apple bag: use bags thick enough to protect the skin-- large freezer bags fx and pierce with dozens of holes to let the apple gas escape. Don't store apples near the carrots -- the gas makes carrots bitter.
• Winter Squash lasts months in a cool basement or closet
• Cheeses are good for weeks in the fridge--Keswick/Swirly Girl yogurt lasts for weeks too.
• Keep the dumplings and the pastas in the freezer so you can create a resto quality meal in minutes.
• Wrap Panorama bread in aluminum foil and freezer bags in the freezer
• Onions and garlic lasts a long time in a cool space -- but not the fridge
• Pickles and Kimchi and Krauts mature and go on and on in the fridge--
• Keep King mushrooms in paper bags in the fridge
• Dry fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, sage, mint, savory, lemon verbena by tying them and hanging them upside down. Once they are completely dry, store in glass jars.
• Dehydrate hot chiles at the lowest oven temperature (under 200!) overnight, cool and then flake or grind into your own chile powder. You can adjust the heat by removing all the seeds and putting in just a few.
• Dry chiles by threading a needle and stringing a bunch of them in out of the light until they are dry
• TIP: zest all organic citrus before you cut them for juice. Then freeze the zest (or candy them)-- No, not at market but you do this.
• Cider freezes for months but remember to remove a few inches of cider for expansion before you do
• Keepwell Vinegars (etc) last for months, years.   Great Gifts!
• Langdon Wood barrel aged maple syrups and hot sauces also last a really long time.  Great Gifts!
