Ok, it’s April, it can snow if it wants to. I’d rather it didn’t even though I enjoy a slow emergence into spring. I was pleased to see that Six Circles had plenty of burdock, parsnips and carrots still left to sell since our bodies still need the warmth that these deep roots give us. This week I will make a nourishing miso soup that’s guaranteed to cleanse your blood as it warms your bones. Our meal is taking a moroccan twist in flavor this week. A tagine is a stew traditionally cooked in a clay pot. Although I don’t own a clay pot large enough to feed you all I can get a similar effect in my larger dutch ovens. We look forward to seeing you all at market. To remind everyone you can purchase food in the front and in the back of the booth. If you do not want to enter the pavilion or get in the entrance line but are craving a macro meal come to the back. Our menu board is set, someone will be there to greet you and help assist you in your purchases. If you do make purchases in the front of the booth you may need to pick everything up in the back. New market rules to help the flow of customers in the market. If you wish to eat our food down by the water or at the picnic tables you will have to pick up food at the back of our booth and walk around the pavilion to reach the picnic tables. It’s a lovely walk, shorter than you think. Until saturday be well.
