The Week that Was
Whew... after dire warnings of hurricane moisture raining down upon Albuquerque, we had a gorgeous day at the market last week. Not to knock all the rain we've been getting; my garden loves it, I love it, we need it. However, a nice mild day brought out hundreds of people to Robinson Park. Dale and his dachshunds know how to spend their Saturday mornings:


We made the most chocolate drops we've ever baked - and sold out by 9:30. We had some ribs left over but got lots of compliments from those who tried the Vietnamese treats, and we traded babybacks for some great bread and a pie. Hooray for the great group of vendors!

The Market to Come
We'll be wrapping up our tour of Southeast Asia on Saturday. I'll be tossing marinated all natural chicken and flatbread on the grill to make a Thai Chicken Wrap. The wrap will include peanut sauce, local cucumbers, local carrots, organic lettuce and scallions. Kei just bought a case of local peaches to make galettes:



And, by popular demand, we will have our Death by Chocolate Drops.

And Then?
In August we'll be starting our Italian menu. With local tomatoes and peppers popping, we'll be making some great savory fare. Plus we'll be back in a culinary region with a strong dessert baking legacy so expect our sweets to switch around.

Ciao!
