At the Market November 23-24

Local Roots Market has special hours this week due to the Thanksgiving holiday -- open Tuesday and Wednesday 11 AM to 7 PM and then Saturday 9 AM to 3 PM for Artisan Day -- so I'll have two posts this week about what's available each of those times.

For Tuesday and Wednesday, I'm trying to have a decent variety but somewhat limited quantities so that you can find good fresh bread for your holiday table:

--Baguettes
--Baklava
--Chai spice shortbread
--Cheese-herb artisan bread: cheddar-dill, cheddar-basil, possibly Black Swamp Gouda (from Canal Junction Farmstead Cheese) with sage, and Lock 21 (Brie-style from Canal Junction) with peppercorn

--Maple oatmeal bread
--Pain aux noix
--Rolls: both simple wheat and garlic herb
--Rosemary cider bread
--Rosemary walnuts
--Rye crackers
--Savory apple flatbread
--Sesame thins
--Zaatar flatbread

I've simplified things in the bakery case, too:

--Baklava by the piece
--Spicy Thai pac choi rolls, a favorite from earlier this month, with fresh pac choi and tatsoi from Karen's Garden Delights, carrots from Martha's Farm, onions and garlic in a spicy peanut sauce using peanut butter from Sherry's Classic Cuisine. Folks couldn't get enough of these delicious non-dairy rolls a couple weeks ago, so I've brought them back for your pre-holiday enjoyment.

For those who placed special orders for Thanksgiving, I will drop off your orders Wednesday morning.

And to everyone, have a joyful and delicious Thanksgiving!

At the Market November 17-20

The wind howled around my windows this morning, and it sounded an awful lot like winter. I know we still have a month to go before that officially happens, but in the meantime, I'm happy to crank up the oven and bake away the chill.

That, of course, translates into good bread and other delicious delights for you to find at Local Roots!:

--Artisan wheat bread and baguettes
--Baklava
--Basil pesto flatbread
--Chai spice shortbread
--Cheese-herb artisan bread: cheddar-dill, feta-oregano, Black Swamp Gouda (from Canal Junction Farmstead Cheese) with sage, and Lock 21 (Brie-style from Canal Junction) with peppercorn

It's going to be a lovely Lucky Penny week -- with Lucky Penny Creamery cheeses showing up in my bakery items!

--Creamy squash rolls with shredded homegrown butternut squash, sauteed with red onion, rosemary from Adonai Acres, and olive oil, and mixed with creamy chèvre from Lucky Penny -- comforting fall flavors!

--Spinach-feta rolls: The original vegetable-cheese roll is back, with spinach from Breezy Hill Farm and Adonai Acres, golden onions, and feta cheese from Lucky Penny.

In addition, I'll have two sweet treats in the bakery case:

--Baklava (now in slightly larger squares)
--Chai spice shortbread: buttery crisp cookies laced with ground cardamom and cinnamon as well as bits of crystallized ginger -- perfect for tea time or your morning coffee break!

On Saturday, I may well reprise last week's surprise success of pear-chèvre rolls -- a sweet version of the popular rolls using Lucky Penny chèvre mixed with Simple Products' pumpkin and spice syrup and chopped walnuts, with slices of dried pear (from Banzhaf Garten Organic Farm) for a concentrated burst of fall fruit.

Don't forget, if you're interested in placing a special order for Thanksgiving, pick up a brochure at the market and contact me by this Saturday, November 20. The orders are piling up, and I won't be able to fill many more!

Enjoy!
