Hi BFM Fans!
Come early - beat the heat- it is nice at 9 and 10 and
11.
Tomatoes. Sale. Garner's
running their box sale early this year. 25 pounds/$20. That is an
incredible price for good seconds that are perfect for canning, saucing,
gazpachoing, slow roasting and then freezing for the winter. I do several
boxes of slow roasted tomatoes every year and they take up remarkably little
room in my freezer. Make tomato pies, tomato granita, dehydrate tomatoes, make
sun dried tomatoes.
Call: include your name and market pickup

What to eat with the temp gets to 98? Pretend you are
in Provence:
- Melon.
Nice chilled melons: canary, honeydew, cantaloupe, sugar cubes and
watermelons of all shapes, sizs and colors. I can make a meal of
half a melon that I have chilled for an hour in the fridge. I can also go
Italian and wrap slices in Prosciutto.
- Robin's
Gazpacho: Start with a thick, stale slice of good bread. (Or toast a fresh
slice) Shred it and soak it in water until soft. Throw it in the
blender or food processor with two cloves of garlic, a glug of olive oil
and a dash of Sherry vinegar. Blend until it looks like brown
mayonnaise. Add a small red onion or large shallot, peeled and chopped and
blend. Add a seeded cucumber, chopped and blend. Add a red pepper, seeded
and chopped and blend. Now for the tomatoes. Chop and salt them, let
them sit in a bowl for 5 minutes until the juices start to run and then
add them to the blender or processor and processor until very very smooth.
Taste. Adjust the seasoning. It may need additional salt, a teaspoon
of sherry vinegar and even another glug of olive oil. Then pour
into a pitcher or container and cool in the fridge for several hour or
overnight. Retaste before serving; it may need a dash more vinegar.
You want sweet tomato flavor to be balanced by acidity of the sherry
vinegar and a bit of salt. It should not taste
acidic. I love to serve gazpacho in interesting glasses
topped with cubed melon.
- Salads:
Tomatoes and cucumbers and feta cheese with or without olives are
very satisfying with a good olive oil and vinegar/lemon.
- Boil
up a couple of pounds of green beans to keep in the fridge as a salad
base. Great with small steamed potatoes, tuna, capers, olives. Or Green
Bean and Tofu Salad with Peanut dressing.
-
- Stone
Fruit Caprese since it is also stone fruit season.
