Farmer's market -- 23 Sept 2017 (Saffron Day, 2nd of Grape Harvest, Year 226)

[neotoma]

Sons kimchi, tiny bartlett pears, arlet apples, lamb ragu, spinach & ricoota ravioli, smoked paprika pappardelle, pita, Greek chickpea salad, spanakopita, crabapple verjus (suddenly several Tudor recipes become possible!), shishito peppers, figs, and pawpaws.

Ran into temve and ell finally -- they shop much later than I do usually, but I had an early eye doctor appointment. I need to start planning autumn outings, as the Noir City DC film fest is coming up, as well as VelocityDC Dance, the new Synetic Theater season, the Takoma Park Street Festival and probably a dozen other things...

I have a cookbook of Tudor recipes updated for a modern kitchen, but verjuice was something I just couldn't find -- except from one winery in California, so good luck me getting a hold of it. I was delighted to see it from the vinegar guy.

Hey, it's like the secret of Roman concrete. Just use water and it sets stronger than modern concrete...except no one wrote down they used seawater, which was the missing instruction, apparently.
