market report 09.03.11
It was pouring at the market this morning! And it’s supposed to be crappy all weekend– a good weekend to spend in the kitchen.
The plan:
corn relish
corncob wine (no, really)
Marcella’s tomato sauce (to freeze)
oven-dried tomatoes (with the Juliets)
basil preserved in salt
and I’ll probably end up canning some of those Romas, because that’s a hell of a lot of tomatoes for just sauce.
And then there’s this:
One goes in gin and the other gets bourbon.

Such beautiful produce! I’ve never heard of preserving basil before, sounds fascinating. I might have to experiment with that since I love basil so much.

That method will be a first for me, too. But cursory googling suggests it’s a good one!

We’ll be needing recipes.

Of course. Mostly for the boozy stuff, right?

Oh you know me well. And the basil in salt. And well, everything sounds so good! Why do I never come and visit you? We need to sort that out one of these summers.
Or you could come here and we could eat fufu and grasscutter.
