this little piggy went to market March 7, 2008
It’s March. It’s St. Louis. It’s cold…but according to Mother Nature, Spring Equinox is slated for March 20, 2008. uh..right.
All I know is that the River Hills Farmer’s Market opening day is tomorrow. If you have never been to the River Hills Farmer’s Market, located just about 70 miles NW of St. Louis in the quaint little town of Silex, MO…you should come with me tomorrow. It seems that on Saturdays into the 1930s the city fathers would gate off Main Street into stock pens so butcher stock could be loaded onto the Short Line. Eggs and cream were bartered for essentials, and horses and mules were traded on one end of town. Inspired by this in its search of a community-service project, the Silex 4-H Flyers club decided to recreate the traditions of a Saturday Market Day and thus, River Hills Farmers Market was born.
Amish baked goods, green beans and tomatoes, table eggs and hatching eggs, baby chicks, peafowl, goats and sheep are just a few of the weekly offerings. I can’t wait to gas up the truck and head up north for a day of fun in Silex.
River Hills Farmers Market is entering our 18th year. We are open on the 2nd and 4th Saturday, starting March the 8th. We offer a variety of market items, from Heritage poultry to Heirloom vegetables. On any given Saturday you can find Welsummer chickens, fresh country eggs, honey, fresh baked goods, Royal Palm Turkeys, local fruits and vegetables.
The Cheesemonger will be at the shop that day and unable to travel to the market. That means I will be left to my own devices. muuwhaaaahaaa!
**we will be leaving St. Louis at approx 8:45 am from Clayton.
Diamonds….nah…I’ll take a BLT January 25, 2008
Found on the Food Section NYC:
Sandwich Style
Forget diamonds. Nothing says true love like a BLT sandwich… that your lady can wear on her fingers. The BLT Ring is composed of five individual rings — a bacon ring, a tomato ring, a lettuce ring, and two bread rings — that stack together to form a sterling silver BLT sandwich. $150 at The Grateful Palate.
The Grateful Plate is one of my favorite sites. It’s where I go when I have money burning a whole in my pocket. They have loads of hilarious yet practical gifts for the food enthusiast in your life.
