A Trifecta of Awesome.
This post expired on August 06, 2023.
Just in case you’ve been living under a rock, I’m hear to tell you that there are beautiful, delicious and exotic things going on right this very minute.
The Beautiful: Have you seen the plant section lately? New South Nursery is offering an assortment of lovely native and wild flowers ready to attract butterflies, bees and hummingbirds straight to your garden.
The Delicious: Homegrown hybrid and heirloom tomatoes. Sumptuous salad greens. Crisp cucumbers. Perfect peppers ranging from sweat-inducing-spicy to sugary-sweet and everything in between. There are 25 growers offering 770 products through The Market. If you don’t take advantage of this seasonal bounty before the market closes tomorrow morning, maybe you should reconsider your priorities.
The Exotic: Ever tasted a cow pea? Me neither, but I have some simmering on the stove this very minute in an heirloom tomato, gray zucchini and Brazilian orchid pepper medley. With the addition of diced poona kheera on my purslane salad and some piel de sapo for dessert, the theme of tonight’s dinner is “Strange Varieties of Familiar Foods” and I anticipate nothing short of greatness. All that’s missing is a roasted poulet libre, but I suppose I have to save something for next time.
