I love looking at my bowls full of fresh produce after a trip to market, it is always so lovely.<br /><br />Courtney - I hate humidity and that is what summers in the Midwest are, humid. It IS oppressive and so gross, it makes walking places no fun at all. It seems to have broken here, it's actually been even a bit chilly and you've needed a jacket a night or two around here.<br /><br />Garlic is amazing. I think garlic and onions are my two most often used ingredients.<br /><br />They didn't last, didn't come close. I got three this week but I still don't think that is going to be enough.<br /><br />Eric - Thank you for the Amish/Mennonite clarification. Brett and I lived down in the Lake of the Ozarks area for awhile and there were a lot of Mennonite's down there, I remember him explaining the difference before as well.<br /><br />I'm glad to know it was a positive reason for missing market!<br /><br />Not a problem, we are happy to support (and sing praise for where necessary) small local farmers who treat their land and view their occupation in a ways that are in line with our principles. We know we can trust what you grow, whereas at the store we don't know where the food even comes from let alone who actually grew it. Who KNOWS what all makes its way on or in your produce as it dances the globe in ways most of us will never experience.<br /><br />I finally reviewed the Georgian Fire, it is an excellent variety, I think you'll have a lot of satisified folks.<br /><br />Living in a Local Zone - That is how I feel about some of the southerners blogs I read, seeing and reading about things we will be waiting a few more weeks for.<br /><br />They all have their own flavor and I think they all even have applications that will showcase their flavors better than others, it is find to enjoy the different varieties and determine what kind we like in each type of food we make.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760009169211682230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-17347146767587045052009-06-30T03:17:26.275-05:002009-06-30T03:17:26.275-05:00What nice peppers!

We are still several 'veg/fruit weeks' behind you, so reading your blog gives a hint of what's to come. <br />I'll have to see what kind of garlic I'm getting from the CSA here. I had a couple bulbs last week and they both tasted different from each other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-89833188163294143702009-06-29T07:34:52.823-05:002009-06-29T07:34:52.823-05:00Regarding the Mennonite vendors, my understanding ...Regarding the Mennonite vendors, my understanding is that there was a big wedding in the Mennonite community this weekend and they were all attending, thus skipping market. There are no true Amish vendors; note the large trucks and cell phones. <br /><br />Thanks again for your kind words on our garlic, which we're quite proud of. Another note on heirloom/market garlic versus generic, often the grocery store version is treated with preservatives to keep it from sprouting during its long storage and transport life, especially because it's increasingly coming from China. They don't have to label that, though (like wax on a cucumber) so you'd never know. Another reason to enjoy farmers markets. <br /><br />Looking forward to seeing the review on the Georgian Fire, for better or for worse.Eric Reuterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09236067232538541130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-49731346083752687152009-06-27T16:02:16.719-05:002009-06-27T16:02:16.719-05:00OMG--I hear you on the heat and humidity--it is ho...OMG--I hear you on the heat and humidity--it is hot and disgusting and sticky and muggy and oppressive here as well :o( Gross! It has to break soon, right!?<br /><br />Your garlic sounds so good! I *love* garlic, but I am like you used to be--I always think garlic is garlic. It is so interesting to hear that each kind is a little different. I passed up garlic this week at the farmers market, but I will be sure to pick some up next weekend! I hope your two heads can hold you over... :o)<br /><br />CourtneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-148273453032440382009-06-27T15:07:13.825-05:002009-06-27T15:07:13.825-05:00Good food is just beautiful in its own right, isn&...Good food is just beautiful in its own right, isn't it.
