Recipes


*ORZO WITH ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH, LEEKS, AND POBLANOS *
from chef Nancy Vienneau, Good Food Matters, at http://nancyvienneau.com

1 large butternut squash, peeled, deseeded, and cut into bite-sized cubes
2 large leeks, carefully washed, dried and chopped (discard tough dark green leaves)
2 poblano peppers, seeded and chopped
3+tablespoons olive oil
salt
black pepper
1/2 pound orzo

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Place the butternut squash cubes onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and black pepper, and toss well to coat all the pieces.
Place chopped leeks and poblanos onto a separate baking sheet. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and black pepper, and toss well to coat the vegetables.
Place both baking sheets into the oven. Roast the butternuts for 15-18 minutes, roast the leeks and poblanos for 12-15 minutes. Rotate the pans about halfway through the cooking time.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil on medium high heat. Add the orzo and cook according to package directions (about 9-10 minutes.)
Drain the orzo and return it to the pot.
Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven. Scrape the butternuts in their roasting oil, and the poblano-leeks in their oil into the pot with the orzo. Toss the mixture well.

Makes 6-8 servings

Market News


Hello!
We’ve had a big freeze since we saw you last! One of the earliest severe cold snaps on our records. It certainly took out the last bits of flowers, basil, and pepper plants. We won’t be seeing tomatoes or eggplant again anytime soon! Thankfully, the crops in the field were buttoned up under row covers and did just fine, as did the crops in the hoophouses.

It is time for Thanksgiving plans! We will be delivering the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, not Wednesday. This will be Tuesday, November 26th.
We will have lots of veggies for you that week, as well as our regular wonderful selection of baked goods, eggs and meats. Don’t forget to pre-order your pumpkin pie from Dozen Bakery, or your turkey from Wedge Oak farm. We have sampled the pumpkin pie and it is delicious – you and your family will NOT be disappointed! These pies are available for pre order now, so order yours before they sell out!

The turkeys from Wedge Oak will be frozen, and you will have a few options for picking them up. Thanksgiving will be on November 28th, and we will be delivering on Tuesday November 26th. You will be able to pick up your turkey on Wednesday, Nov. 20th or Tuesday the 26th. After you place your deposit for the turkey, Karen from Wedge Oak Farm will contact you with available sizes and more information.

Also this year, The Bloomy Rind will also be offering cheese trays for entertaining.

Please remember we move up under the porch at the church if it looks like rain. The forecast is iffy for Wednesday. We are so grateful to the Trinity Church community for letting us use this space!

Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you !

John and Tallahassee
