Mayor Landrieu has proclaimed October 18-27 Creole Cream Cheese this week. Creole Cream Cheese is a Slow Food Ark of Taste food and we couldn't be prouder to have the Mauthe Family, who helped bring this traditional food back into popularity, as market vendors. To celebrate we will have a Creole Cream Cheese demo and tasting at our Tuesday and Thursday markets this week. Want more cheese goodness? Check out the fantastic Slow Food NOLA Creole Cream Cheese event Thursday at the US Mint. http://www.slowfoodusa.org/ark-of-taste-in-the-usa http://www.slowfoodnola.com/event/celebration-of-creole-cream-cheese/ ******************************************************************************** TUESDAY'S GREEN PLATE SPECIAL We are taco crazy at market! This week we welcome back La Cocinita's big red truck to Green Plate Special. They will be serving up their market inspired tacos, arepas and quesadilla, in addition to tasty side items and refreshing horchata. This weeks specials include venezuelan cornmeal patties stuffed with roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, arugula, caramelized onions, roasted red pepper sauce, & cotija cheese. Bring your work or school friends and make Tuesday lunch an experience! http://lacocinitafoodtruck.com/ ******************************************************************************** RECIPE OF THE WEEK We are practically dancing through the aisles at market now that citrus here! The weather is still warm, but there are great greens at market, so salads are a great mealtime solution. Add this Satsuma-Brown Butter Vinaigrette to any salad, or use as a marinade for chicken or steak and enjoy the intense flavor of both the juice and the rind of Louisiana's golden food, the Satsuma! http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org/index.php?page=recipe-of-the-week ******************************************************************************** UPTOWN 200 Broadway Street near the River Tuesday October 22 | 9 am - 1 pm MID-CITY 3700 Orleans Avenue near the Bayou Thursday October 24 | 3 pm - 7 pm DOWNTOWN 700 Magazine Street at Girod Street Saturday October 26 | 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 MARKETUMBRELLA.ORG http://www.marketumbrella.org/ MARKETEERS http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org/index.php?page=marketeers-club ******************************************************************************** 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
