Not Feeling This Second Wave?

After that lovely respite that had us all hoping we’d be graced with an early autumn, those pesky triple digit temps are back. Despite the heat, I can’t stop pining away after all the heavy, rich cold weather foods I so long to enjoy. In fact, optimistic rebel that I am, there’s a pot roast (thanks, MeatWorks!) practically falling apart in my oven right now and though I wouldn’t mind the house being a few degrees cooler, I wouldn’t trade this homey aroma for all the crisp air in Sweden.

For those less inclined to suffer for the cause, there is hope! I hear rumors of a drop in both temperature an humidity all next week. Take advantage by ordering up all the things you’ve been waiting for. Reserve your own chuck roast from MeatWorks Butchery and Market, or practice your Thanksgiving skills on a Farm Girl poulet libre. Bake a few adorable, individual sized metro butternut squash from Willow Springs or half pint pumpkins from Drewry Farm. Creamy comforting soup, anyone? Don’t overlook the sweet potatoes and apples. There’s nothing sadder than an empty pie crust.

Don’t forget, The Market closes tomorrow morning, and there are plenty of late summer goodies too. Regardless of which season you favor, we’re here to make it as delicious as it can be!
