Fresh & LocalThis is it: countdown to the biggest cooking day of the year! Are you ready? If not, we can help. We will have a bustling market Tuesday, chock full of all your holiday meal planning needs (and something for those of you who decide you would rather hang out at the track than cook on Thursday!). Strawberries, hothouse tomatoes, pies, breads, citrus, pecans, meat, seafood, dairy, produce and more available for your holiday table or oven. As a reminder, CCFM will not be open Thursday, November 28. We hope everyone has a safe, delicious, and happy Thanksgiving. |

Recipe of the WeekIt’s not Thanksgiving in New Orleans without Oyster Dressing. Every family has their own favorite version, but this one comes from Frank Davis’s Creole sidekick Mary Clare. Featured as part of “Franksgiving” dinner specials on WWL-TV, Mary Clare’s recipe includes sage, personal advice in the instructions. Her remarks will make you feel as though you’re getting a cooking lesson from your Creole grandmother! |
