Soup Swap
It’s time people, National Soup Swap Day has arrived! We have several teams swapping and you can to. If you would like to participate, please drop me an email ( LBSM@mac.com ) and I will partner you up with some eager swappers.
The idea of bringing 4 frozen quarts of soup was two fold-they could sit out for awhile during market…and you could make them way ahead of time. So, you can chop, puree and simmer today then freeze for Sunday!
Wandering up and down the aisles for ingredients made it hard to choose a direction. The list of soups so far is impressive! A great variety of clear, cream, puree and even fruity dessert soup! I am looking forward to reading through all the recipes for inspiration and then testing for the cook book!
New Farmers
This past Sunday we welcomed Fresh Flowers from Vista! They have a great selection including Tulips, Alstromeria, Lilies, Tuberose, Asst Greens and much more…
Fresh Pressed Juices, assorted farm grown fresh fruit juices. They grow all their own fruit. Can’t wait for spring when they’ll be bringing the source material too.
New Food Vendors
Stuff-It Olives joins us from Northern California. They will be a regular vendor in So Cal and we are happy to have them join us in Cal Heights. Their olives are crisp and tasty!
One of the flavors the market needs is that cilantro, pickled carrot, fresh baguette combination found in the Banh Mi sandwich. There have been many tastings carried out at storefronts along Anaheim. Alas, none can come to market…they are too busy! But—hearing the plaintive cry—Chef Gregg from Culinary Coach stepped up and has added the fresh, crisp and slightly hot jalapeno topped Vietnamese sandwich specialty to his menu for us. I saw lots of thumbs up at the benches last Sunday too.
Every week is a new adventure at the market. See you there!
