Farmer Matt has been working hard to build up this little market, and it’s wonderful to see how it’s growing. We forget to go some weeks, and then when we do, we’re like, “Man, how can we miss this?”
The Ever-Gorgeous Earl bought melons and okra (for me) and talked to his former student about Friday night’s football game.
(He’s eating these as I type this and says they’re really good. They smell terrific and are filling the house with melon-y sweetness.)
{No, that’s not all ours.}
Body care:

Bunny’s Bread:
She makes the most FABULOUS coconut cookies on the planet. Pack of 4, $2. I buy a package. I eat one, The EGE eats one, I quickquickquick give the other two away.
K9 Cottage Cookie Company:
(they also make cat cookies, on the right):
Briley Mitchell’s photographs:
He’ll have a booth next weekend at Septemberfest. He does fabulous work. This is my favorite because 1) it’s really there and 2) it always makes me laugh to think that it’s really there:
Carol Anderson’s jewelry:
She’ll be at the antique show in Round Top in October.
Some new friends:
“OK, now I’m shy.”
So go to the Farmers’ Market. It’s on Saturday mornings, downtown, through the end of November. Okra’s coming in right now, and it’s fabulous. And cheap!

Rice, how do you cook your okra?
Thanks!
i'll eat okra any way you do it, from raw to boiled. but The EGE hates the snottiness of it, so he does it the way they showed us at central market: slice it, saute it in a skillet with olive oil, and sprinkle on cumin while it's cooking, which--amazingly!--cuts all the snot. we were amazed at the demo of this. he likes his really crispy; i like mine before it gets burned (you can see we have Differeing Opinions About Okra, but it works out: he takes mine out and keeps cooking his.) try this and let me know what you think~~
Thanks...now I have to find fresh okra here in northeast PA...I don't like the slime either and I love olive oil and cumin.
I went yesterday morning - sorry I missed seeing y'all!
Thanks for the reminder on the Farmer's Market! Lately I have been sleeping in, but when I go I feel like it's a gift I give to myself all week long-eating locally, that is.
By the way, I prefer my okra pickled.
omigod, holly--just reading the words "pickled okra" mades my mouth water!
