Fresh

I’ve good intentions here.  I want Fresh to be a place where I share about books I’m reading (mostly all food-related at this moment in time), a venue where I can alert you to various local CSA farms (oh, there are so many), links to timely and curious articles I’ve come across, recipes that I find particulary wonderful, constantly rotating menu samples, and just a place where I can write and reflect.  Importantly, I hope that you’ll have a chance to participate in what appears to be a monologue and post comments in reply.

Today, Thursday, I’m coordinating a gathering at the opening on Saturday of the Mill City Farmers Market in Minneapolis located near the stunning new Guthrie Theater.  Charlie Kersey, the farmer at La Finca CSA farm where I worked as a farm hand a few years back, will be displaying his goods along with other hand-picked local farmers who stress sustainable and organic foods.  Cheers to those, such as Brenda Langton of Cafe Brenda and Spoonriver Cafe, for creating such a market in Minneapolis.  Hope to see you there.
