Things to come

Do you have a favorite farmers market vendor? Ask them if they sell things during the off season!

My fav meat vendor is going to take orders during the market's off season (Oct-June).  She'll meet people near the summer market every other week with peoples' orders.  I'm thrilled because this means that we can have local meats - without a middleman - year-round.

I've been so busy lately putting food up for the end-of-season that I haven't had a spare moment to write a post.  But never fear - here's what I've got planned in the next few days:

1. homemade bacon (meat from the aforementioned farmers market vendor)
2. finishing touches on the "Fun with Fermentation" series
3. lots of canning: corn, tomatoes, pears, pickles, sauerkraut
4. a tomato-less lament
5. test-run of a Julia Child recipe calling for 2 cups of sauerkraut
6. ratatouille

And yes, the homemade bacon did make me feel like a culinary rockstar.

Deets to come.
