CRESCENT CITY FARMERS MARKET | MARKET MORSELS http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org The Dirt on Dirt | Week of July 29, 2013 ******************************************************************************** FRESH & LOCAL Come out Saturday morning for our first Saturday of the month Marketeer kids event. Get the "Dirt on Dirt" and learn how farmers use compost to grow the fruits and veggies we love. We'll play games that help kids learn how to start their own compost piles at home. Join us Saturday and be ready to get those hands dirty! ******************************************************************************** PICK OF THE WEEK: Okra! Ask a group of New Orleanians the best way to cook the slime out of okra and you're bound to get all sorts of different responses. One of our favorite ways is to roast okra whole in the oven under high heat until slightly charred, then sprinkle the pods with lime juice and salt. ******************************************************************************** TUESDAY'S GREEN PLATE SPECIAL This is Red Gravy's last Tuesday under the Green Plate Special tent. This week, look for zucchini bread with Creole cream cheese and mushrooms, sausage and peppers sliders, assorted bruschetta, and Boston cream pie. Get your fix of their delicious food anytime at their CBD restaurant! http://www.redgravycafe.com/ ******************************************************************************** RECIPE OF THE WEEK We love using local ingredients to make international dishes like this Shrimp and Okra Bhuna. Come out to the market this week for green and burgundy okra and gorgeous fresh caught Louisiana shrimp. http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org/index.php?page=recipe-of-the-week ******************************************************************************** UPTOWN 200 Broadway Street near the River Tuesday July 30 | 9 am - 1 pm MID-CITY 3700 Orleans Avenue near the Bayou Thursday August 1 | 3 pm - 7 pm DOWNTOWN 700 Magazine Street at Girod Street Saturday August 3 | 8 am - noon ******************************************************************************** MARKETMATCH http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org/index.php?page=market-match PURCHASE OPTIONS AT THE MARKET http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org/index.php?page=purchase-options SUPPORT THE CRESCENT CITY FARMERS MARKET "http://www.marketumbrella.org/market/support_us.html MARKETUMBRELLA.ORG http://www.marketumbrella.org ******************************************************************************** LIKE US ON FACEBOOK http://www.facebook.com/pages/Crescent-City-Farmers-Market/12780011170 FOLLOW US ON TWITTER https://twitter.com/ccfmtweets TAKE A LOOK ON INSTAGRAM http://instagram.com/crescentcityfarmersmkt
