Here with an update. Those Sicilian had it figured out from the get go! For molded Cotognata, the glazed ceramic and the feet on the bottom are needed for circulation so the Cotognata dries evenly. Also needed: a sunny summer courtyard.

Quince Fest was so much fun! Thank you .pdx. I enjoyed every minute. And thank you for attending Lane! Just hours off the plane from Sicily. It was great to see you and all the Quince Enthusiasts in one place! .pdx

Ok. Here is the start of my molded Quince Paste Project! I got the Sicilian Quince Paste molds from Lane and they are filled and drying. These are the rounded, glazed ceramic molds in these photos. The Sicilian Quince Paste Molds are hard to come by and expensive. Sooooo, with Lane’s approval, I’m testing out using the Marzipan Molds Lane brings back with her from Sicily. The Marzipan Molds are less expensive and easier to find locally. You can get them seasonally at Lane’s online shop and check Meanwhile, I’m swimming in quince on the farm and processing for 2025. Thank you for Quince Fest 2024! Loved every minute!

Meanwhile, the First in a series of Peace Table Discussion Dinners, this event at UCC happened. Every vegetable included in the meal was donated and harvested from our local Farm Community. All vegetables read above 5 on our Refractometers. This was one of the 1 st dinners to be prepared and served from the new certified kitchen at UCC. Member chef Kathleen and team spent 2 days putting the meal together. Sadly, I have no photos of the deliciousness on the plate. Thank you community for participating. Here’s to our Agriculture Supported Community !

Hello Community. Watch for this Ask coming in your mailbox soon. And, let me know if you would like to receive one of these packets. We can mail it to you or if you’re local, happy to deliver. We’ve had a very successful grant year and we are grateful for this. We need to fund raise to help with administration, contractor, and executive expenses. That’s why we are asking for your end of the year donations.

The restaurant is a work of culinary art and I’m so grateful for the experience. THE best lamb I’ve ever experienced, came to the table smoking in Thyme Branches in a marmite. And the breakfast bacon brilliantly rolled and slow baked.

Noteworthy Fashion Statements to keep in mind. Check out the cardigan buttoned in the back. The bag is one of many carried by a Farmers Market shopper, crocheted from plastic bag strips.

Leaving Agen heading for L’Isle Sur La Sorgue, I changed trainn 3 times en route. At least 6 discussions at each station with the very friendly and helpful French. At one point, I said in French to be perfectly clear: at what hour do I place my feet at which track? Sounds easy, but if your in the wrong voie, the way to the correct voie is down a flight of stairs and up a flight of stairs. With luggage heavy with broquant finds, this was not easy. Scroll through to the smiling young gentleman who helped get me on the train to the L’Isle Sur La Sorgue train station. Stressful but safe and successful after all.

The Marche Fermier Nerac is one of my favorites in France. Every booth a must visit. The photos are only a tease of a few quickly snapped images. It is not possible to concentrate on good photos and the scene at the same time, so I opted for the deep dive and got in every line, purchasing items and gathering stories to share at my next adventure in Haute Provence. It’s a known Nana Cardoon soap box: my work is to build and support farm market identity in my home community. So you are forewarned! AND: the non food booths at Nerac are all Made in France items! That is huge and wonderful in itself. AND, a bakery booth at this market features wood fired baked goods, including the largest, most luxurious pain au raison ever and caneles! .de.camont

Marche Fermier Lavardac en Gasgogne. These are images of the treasures gathered at this market. All local, all deep rooted French Farm Market vendors, every booth and experience. I felt like the only tourist there, so no photos of the market itself. And, a farmers market must: if there is a line at the booth, get in that line, listen, observe, develop your French Vocabulary, visit with the customers. and purchase things from that vendor. What you prepare in your kitchen will support your soul for days. Zone in on the 1/2 kilo salted butter slab—-I can’t even……..de.camont
