Forgive the silly rhyme, but the late summer is coming along ever so nicely. For those of us who love tomatoes, this is THE time of year. Last week was National Farmer’s Market week, so we hope you all also got out to a market or two. The CSA is a wonderful step to local food sustainability, but markets also offer chances to interact with other local goods… we’re all in this together! This week….

Cheese! Want to learn more about the cheese this week? The Amazing Live Food Co. says this about the Stella Vallis Tomme cheese for this week:

Aged four to six months, this classic from the French Alps is reproduced here in the Hudson Valley.  Our Tomme has a natural, edible rind, which is washed in the early part of its life for the betterment of a combination of yeasts and molds that dominate its surface flora, and guide its nature out of its infancy.  The pate is soft through the center and pliant, yielding robust nutty flavors with hints of tropical fruit in the background and upon the finish.  A slightly salty note suggests excellent pairings with sweet, wet fruits… like local apples.”

Supper Club Y’all…

On Saturday, August 20th… there is a Paisley Farm-to-Table Southern Dinner happening as part of the Ted & Amy Supper Club. This event promises to have good food and great company (and plenty of good wine I hear!) Check it out here.Thanks to Karol at d.b.a for sharing this info!
