Goin' to the Farmers' Market

This past weekend's Farmers' Market meal was deeelish. Unfortunately, due to some scheduling conflicts, illness, transitioning new/old members in and out and the like, we only had 8 of us (well.... 11 if you count the under-18 crowd including our newest member Ava!). Even so, we had quite a delicious meal.

We enjoyed:

• Canteloupe w/ proscuitto & vinagrette for appetizers from Phil & Rose
• Autumn stew with cheddar-biscuit topping from Phil & Rose (Phil, the recipe is in high demand!)
• Summer skillet-cooked vegetables from Chad & Karen
• Honey-apple cake with caramel glaze from Jill & Jonathan
• Sodas from the new mommy & daddy (Heather & Dave)

I felt it was appropriate to have both a "summer" dish and an "autumn" dish as we sit on the cusp of both seasons. Sadly, I completely forgot to take ANY pictures of the food for the first time ever! So, that just means we'll have to recreate the dishes sometime and take pictures so everyone can see.

We missed those of you unable to join us and hope to see you next month, along with some news faces! Next up... carribean!

September gathering

The 23rd gathering of the Ragamuffin Cooking Club is hereby announced!

As we move towards the end of summer and are approaching the harvest time of fall, we've decided to take advantage of the bountiful Farmers' Market for our meal! The main ingredient for each dish should contain food that you purchased at our local Farmers' Market (and if possible, all the ingredients!). You can purchase items downtown on Saturday starting at 7am (if you need you can always shop the week before, also). Other than that, it's pretty wide open, just a fresh, locally-grown meal.
