With the weekend approaching (not quick enough)

I thought I'd take a moment to let you all know whats on the Market. (From the City Market newsletter for Oct. 20th)

This week find: cabbage, collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, turnips, black eye peas, pink eye peas, crowder peas, butternut squash, acorn squash, sweet dumplin’ squash, zucchini, half runners, pole beans, tenderettes, tomatoes, pears, apples galore, corn, eggplant, chestnuts, baked goods, fresh eggs, grass finished meats, goat cheeses, catfish, jerkey, fresh cut and dried flowers, mums, pansies, Indian corn, and pumpkins. We also have a new Vendor couple, Maria and Eduardo Gallia who make fresh empanadas, churros, and tamales. They are at the Market most every day.


If you have not had a fresh empanada, get thee to the market. I realize growing up in the melting pot that is NY, some of this stuff is pratically a childhood food to me, but a good empanada is like nothing else. It's a handheld meal, and so much more. Oh, and you probably have not had a real tamale, most people havent. Go have one.
