Recipes

Dumpling Squash with Sage and Cream
from Martha Stewart.com

This is a nice alternative to baked winter squashes that are sweetened

6 dumpling squashes (about 3 1/2 pounds), halved, seeded, stems removed, and bottoms trimmed to sit flat
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
1 cup homemade or store-bought low-sodium veggie or chicken stock, or water
4 garlic cloves, halved
1/4 cup heavy cream

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange squash halves, cut side up, in two 9-by-13-inch baking dishes. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle sage over each. Pour 1/2 cup stock into each dish, and scatter garlic around squashes.
Bake, covered, until squashes are tender when pierced with a fork, 45 to 55 minutes. Heat broiler with rack about 8 inches from heat source.
Transfer garlic to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Mash with a fork, and stir in cream and 2 tablespoons liquid from baking dishes. Spoon over squash halves, including edges. Broil squashes until bubbling and golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately.

Market News

Hello!

We have a ton of great stuff for your selection this week! There is a large variety of delicious veggies – lots of lettuces, winter quashes, greens and cabbages, beets and carrots, and more! Looks like we are heading into a cold spell, so please remember to take advantage of all this fresh goodness we have to offer! We always plan to have offerings for you through the winter, but it is hard to know how cold winter will get and how the vegetables will be affected. So enjoy good food now, while we have it!

We have a new item from Tru Bee Honey – their latest offering brings together two Tennessee traditions steeped in heritage: beekeeping and whiskey making. They let their raw honey “age” in a charred oak barrel that’s been soaked in whiskey by a legendary southern distillery. Use this rich, smokey honey in hot teas and toddies, drizzled on homemade biscuits or as a secret ingredient in a glaze or backyard grilling sauce. The recycled glass bottle contains 7.5 oz of 100 percent pure, raw honey; it does not contain alcohol.

Thanksgiving is almost here! Remember we will be delivering on Tuesday, November 25th that week. If you order a turkey from Wedge Oak Farm, they will be available for pick up starting on Wednesday, November 19th.
We have Dozen Bakery’s Thanksgiving pies available for pre-order. There are two amazing kinds to choose from – or get both! They are sure to be amazing. Pies will be delivered on Tuesday November 25th.

And, last but NOT least, The Bloomy Rind is happy to announce the return of the “Cheese Plate in a Bag”. These will be available for Thanksgiving pre-order as well. Each size includes assorted wedges of 3, 4, or 5 cheeses along with some preserves and Marcona almonds. All you will need is a cheese board and a knife. It also makes a fabulous hostess gift for the food lover.

3 cheeses (serves 6-9) $29
4 cheeses (10-15) $42
5 cheeses (14-18) $55

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

John and Tallahassee
