Heavy year. Not going there - keeping it light. LITE. Yeah! Gonna talk of food. Feast. Nourishment. And what we like a lot now. Salads… YEAH!
Rare red watercress just arrived from Cali along with 4 varieties of radicchio from Italy, including Frisee. If you had any last year, you’ll remember. Mix with Little Gem lettuce. A watermelon radish might be a nice addition. A persimmon too.
I just received a surprise Hummingbird Farm tomato shipment. Heirloom, gold, yellow & red on the vine, along with plum, cherry and grape varieties. All colors of cauliflower while they last. Purple, green & white asparagus too. Broccoli Rabé, Cauliflorini, Broccolini -take your pick. French beans are trimmed for you too.
We still have the amazing donut peaches, apricots and nectarines. Bing cherries, cotton candy, red or white seedless grapes will go well with a variety of our cheeses. Pears are lovely too, get a mix of three. And the apples? The Sugar Bee is my favorite right now but I still love the Snap Dragon, Honeycrisp and Opal. Dino melons and cantaloupes are sweet too.
And then there’s the citrus. Sumos are just around the corner which gives us time to enjoy heirloom navels, kishu and satsuma mandarines, cara cara, blood oranges and grapefruit. All are new crop picks. By the way, if you have not had it, try our orange juice. It’s perfection.
We can still land you a tenderloin, or ham or… you name it, but act fast. Fresh fish always. We have a few pies that have not been claimed along with an assortment of muffins, croissants, canneles and apple galettes; English muffins & cheese straws too.
And please do me a favor. Will you let me know via text or in the comments if you like following the link to here or if you prefer this information in a text. I like sharing what’s new with you.
My kids are out of the house. I haven’t hugged them in almost 8 months. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. I really believe there is. There will be a new year. Yes there will! Peace.
