1/12/2013: The pot roast hunt
Everything available at the market was the same this week as last, although we did find a man with honey and lemons, the gentleman with the eggs wasn't there, and we had to hunt all over for celeriac.
~carrots
~half dozen eggs
~1 cup chopped walnuts
~heirloom tomoato seeds (all but the Pink Caspian were bred prior to 1900. Whoa.)
~boneless pot roast
~small celeriac (they just look so weird but they smell exactly like celery)
~1 leek, in place of onions, which we didn't find until we were finished.
~organic strawberry-raspberry jam
~1 pound goldenrod honey
This week we're making pot roast & carrot-walnut bread. The pot roast recipe is from a previous Farmer's Market newsletter, which can be found here: http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs102/1100974214484/archive/1111923832260.html#recipe
And the carrot-walnut bread here: http://www.preparedpantry.com/carrot-bread-recipe.htm
At the market we found several things we did not expect, including biscotti, popcorn, tortillas, and canned tomatoes (just plain, to be used in recipes as needed), and dried herbs.
I was also going to order our organic salt from a small business in Maine: http://www.maineseasalt.com/
But we've just about run out and I don't get paid until next week. Oh, well. That's what the co-op is for.
We also picked up, as I mentioned above, some tomato seeds from pre-1900:
~Golden Queen, Stokes variety. Indeterminate, regular leaf, mid season, large size, orange.
~White Queen. Indeterminate, regular leaf, late season, beef size, pale yellow.
~Brandywine Sudduth. Indeterminate, potato leaf, mid season, beef size, pink.
~Lutescent. Indeterminate, regular leaf, late season, globe size, red.
and one post-1900:
~Caspian Pink. Indeterminate, regular leaf, mid season, beef size, pink.
It is always important, when raising animals and plants, to choose heirloom or heritage varieties rather than specific hybrids or GMO foods. Buying heirloom and heritage preserves nature's natural genetic diversity and encourages natural selection and healthy organisms. We are so excited about this find!
See you next week!
