This picture is of John Charlton and his son, who sell baked goods at both markets that I attend as a vendor. I've gotta tell you, their bread is the BEST EVER. No preservatives means it has to be kept in the refrigerator, but it is well worth the real estate because it lasts and lasts.
Tuesday I was hoping to get a loaf of their maple oatmeal bread because it is the best sandwich bread I have ever tasted. But, alas, they were sold out by the time I was able to break free from my apple stand to shop. I ended up with an Italian herb loaf and all I can say is....
!!!!!MY WORD!!!!!
!!!!!!MY TASTEBUDS!!!!!!!
It was definitely a case of Love at First Bite :)
Now, along with the Charlton's cinnamon swirl bread (great for French Toast), maple oatmeal (for sandwiches) I now have to have their Italian herb on a regular basis. Half my grocery budget is going to be spent on bread...LOL
If you have a chance to shop at NorthSide Farmers Market (901 P.W.N. in front of Galion K.F.C./ Tuesdays 4 - 6) or Lil' Farmers Market (1695 E. Mansfield St., Bucyrus, across from Auto Zone, Saturday mornings 8:30 -noon), I highly recommend that you talk with John and try his family's bread. Mendy and I set up at both of those markets, too...so stop by and say "hey" to us!!
**********Localvore Update**********
Before supper yesterday, I make a quick trip to Mendy's store, The Farmers Wife. Lucky for me, she had 2 packages of home-made buns left. I nabbed one for tonight's meal, making it TOTAL LOCAL.
*Y*A*Y*
So, what's on the menu for today? Well...we now have nectarines and plums, along with Ida Red apples, plus we still have Red Bartlett pears. Looks like a fruit compote to me!
Lunch will be simple, I just need to reheat the roast beef and cauliflower, add fresh fruit, and maybe fry up a few potatoes. Jim won't be around for dinner, which means I'll have something even more simple, like an egg sandwich. Again, it looks like a TOTAL LOCAL day!
Marcheta *keeping on keeping on!
