BITES OF MANY SORTS

This week I thought I would share some basic Egg Bite info, a recipe if you will, that I’ve been using since last summer when my mom introduced me to them. Her very Italian recipe is listed in a previous newsletter and I’ve had fun ever since experimenting with flavors, seasonings and ingredients.

The beauty of an egg bite is its simplicity, basically a mini quiche that can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for a quick healthy breakfast or anytime pick me up snack. They can be as lean or as fatty as you like, keto or carb rich, vegetarian or meat lovers. They keep in the refrigerator up to 10 days, travel well and are a fun addition to breakfast gatherings.

For the record this is old style grandma cooking where you use a bit of this and a pinch of that. I never measure.

First off – pans. If you use a muffin tin or 4 oz mason jars you’ll have to grease them for the bites to come out. Silicone molds eliminate the need for that and has become my preference as they don’t brown or crisp as easily.

Basic recipe: 6 or 7 eggs
a generous handful of your favorite shredded cheese
about a teaspoon of salt (I like pink salt)
a good shake of pepper
(optional) a couple tablespoons of milk, cream, or sour cream.

This alone makes a great basic no nonsense egg bite. Cook at 350 till a toothpick comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes. Test with a toothpick.

The fun comes in with additional ingredients and is only limited by your imagination: What follows are some I’ve tried and will use again:

The beauty of this method is that the flavor combinations are only limited by your imagination. If you know of a great ingredient not listed here speak up because it’s definitely worth trying!

LOOKING FORWARD

Most folks I’ve heard speak of it are glad to put 2020 behind us and look forward to this being a better year. Good year or bad, one constant is that we have to EAT regardless, and one of the reasons Market at Dothan exists is to bring you nourishing Fresh, Local, Sustainable farm products Year Round. That being said, for better or worse, we’re still here and our only plan is to continue to serve you to the best of our ability. We appreciate how you’ve stuck with all the changes in the Market starting with accepting a new Market Manager 5 years ago with the first newsletter of 2016!

Nostalgia aside – the challenges 2020 forced upon us did change some things about the way America eats, primarily with delivery and home prepared meals. Food system experts don’t see that trend changing much even with a vaccine in production now. For the rest of this section we’ve assembled some of the more interesting trends/predictions already in publication for 2021 and will list the links at the bottom if you want to check into it further. Enjoy!

1. Both Eating Well an Better Homes and Gardens reports that ”Next Level Charcuterie” will be a thing in 2021. If you’ve not heard the word you’ve seen it for years: those lovely trays with an array of savory bite size pieces of deliciousness that make their appearance at various events.

2. While breakfast has been the most important meal of the day as long as anyone remembers, Whole Foods is preparing for people to want more variety, ”Epic” they call it. They plan to offer gourmet egg bites, an assortment of healthy bread and grain products and “keto pancake cups”, whatever that is. Delish & BH&G also report that breakfast will become more popular.

3. Several sites have reported that Upcycled Foods to Reduce Waste will gain in popularity. While we see this as a positive trend, it’s important that “upcycling” does not include unnecessary processing. Whole Foods is adding many products in this category.

4. Increased creativity in coffee and kombucha products. Whole Foods will offer a large selection of ramped up kombuchas and coffee will show up in a lot more products. Check out our Market Discussion Page for a great informative video on making your own.

5. Chickpeas. It won’t be just hummus anymore and will replace cauliflower’s most popular vegetable status. Stores will carry many variations of them, including flour, and there are plenty of great recipe ideas available through Pinterest out there already.

6. Grab your Balls! Canning, Freezing and Fermentation are making a comeback! Of course there are those of us for whom it never went away . . . .

We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!

ROS’S RAMBLINGS

What a Year! Nobody knew at the beginning of 2020 what a wild ride the whole world would experience but here we are – looking over our shoulder and hoping for better days ahead.

With this being the last newsletter of 2020 it just seemed appropriate to express my deep gratitude to both our vendors and customers for sticking it out this year. Any of us could have been paralyzed with fear with the first covid lockdown and just quit.

Just thinking about some of the stuff that has gone on behind the scenes I thought I’d share a bit. Some of this you will be familiar with, some maybe not. Mid March when everybody expected to die (of course I’m exaggerating, but maybe not much) we made the counter intuitive decision to stay open with some procedural adjustments.

It wasn’t very long afterwards I got wind that the State Farmer’s Market Authority was recommending procedures similar to ours – very interesting considering that they monitor our Facebook pages! About the same time Wendy (Avalon Farms) and I shared the M@D business model and our and safe pickup practices in a Zoom meeting for farmer’s market managers from other Alabama cities. Between the two of us we were able to explain both the technical and practical aspects of M@D that keep everything working. One of those managers actually visited us and got the Friday morning experience!

Thinking about it, to me the technical and procedural aspects everybody was so interested in merely provide a framework for what’s really important – serving each other. Because what makes Market at Dothan special is GOOD PEOPLE. And the longer I open & close the market, print reports, answer emails, write checks and send out newsletters every week, the more I realize that at the end of the day it’s about serving our fellow man. And each of you, in your own way whether as a customer or vendor, do your part as we serve each other. I am SO GRATEFUL. I could have never dreamed of a job that I would love so much, and the reason is getting to work with and be a little part of your lives.

So Merry Christmas and I hope that with all the troubles and trials and sorrows you have endured this year that you find and experience true JOY this beautiful season.

We will be spaced apart, masked and observing social distancing.

The Nursery festivities will be from 9am to 3 pm and our Market vendors plan to be there from 9 am to 1 pm or longer. The following vendors are preparing to participate:

MARKET CHITCHAT & GROWER NOTES

To eliminate any confusion, we are having regular orders and regular pickup on Friday this week so our customers who are not able or do not wish to deal with crowds can order without any disruptions.

_~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New Products Purple Sweet Potatoes Crochet Pocket Scarf in several colors Fresh White Globe Turnips, fresh and packaged Packaged Yellow Squash _~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today’s newsletter is the first of the last two ordering cycles for 2020. We will shut down for Christmas Break after Market Pickup on Friday, Dec. 18 and will reopen for orders on January 2, 2021.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Starting January 2021 we are eliminating the Footnotes section of our weekly newsletter. While the information is valuable, it is also on our website, much of it in several places! With the main focus of the newsletter being education and weekly updates we feel that reducing it to a link would better serve everyone. _~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MAYIM FARMS: Add some spice to that special someones life this season with a basket of homemade goodies…herbal salts, sweet relish, Our Daily Dash spices, cotton dish cloths and pot handles…all hand crafted on Mayim Farm. editors note – Greg and Carrol will be present next Saturday at Open House.

D’S JELLIES: We are so excited to be on site at Dothan Nurseries for Christmas Open House! I will have Mayhaw Jelly, Hot Pepper Jelly, and BlackBerry Jelly.  Jellies are unique gifts….delicious, too!  I hope to see familiar faces as well as new faces as we celebrate Christmas. Thank you to my customers for another year of support.

AVALON FARMS:

Here we go again with another “let’s try this and see what happens” experiment in our new greenhouse. Tomatoes in containers are covered with row cover, helping them to survive the two hard 6 hour freezes at 26 degrees. They seem to be okay! There’s not really enough daylight hours this time of year for them to produce well. But, hey, they are alive…. Unlike the broccoli plants out in the field. They look bit by the cold months.

KIDS & FOOD

Christmas often brings back sweet classic memories of helping decorate sugar cookies. It’s always a grand time for the kiddos using the rolling pin, picking out which cookie cutter to use, eating bits of dough, licking frosting from sticky fingers, and spilling way too many sprinkles. Even the littlest kid can do something. It’s all joy and fun . . . so much fun that the grownups don’t really mind cleaning up the mess!

Covid for many has upped the ante with parents incorporating their kids, now at home, into everyday kitchen routines and tasks. Some have even taken it to a new level like one father in Florida who has taught his six year old to make pasta . . . from scratch.

This is one of the reasons food blogs for and about children have become increasingly popular. Granted, all are written by adults but all are geared for enhancing healthy mealtimes and making delightful food while making it a delight to create.

You may request a complete list with these and (many) other similar blogs by email to marketatdothan@gmail.com.

THOUGHTS TO PONDER

Many people think this verse means to being thankful for the bad things that happen in our lives, but that’s not necessarily so. That one little word, “IN everything . . .” urges us to look for beauty, for joy, for good when things are dark and hard. One person said “The greatest test of faith is when you don’t get what you want but still, you are able to say; Thank You Lord.”

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.” – Melody Beattie “On Thanksgiving Day we acknowledge our dependence.” – William Jennings Bryan

Gratitude turns what we have into enough.

A WEEK LIKE TO OTHER

The election is behind us and whether you are mourning or rejoicing over the latest news it does not diminish the fact that LIFE WILL GO ON. Just a little bit ago I saw a satire article about how the red party was demonstrating by going about life as usual.

Those words, “life as usual” . . . they don’t mean what they did a year ago! A year ago we didn’t have to stay 6 feet apart. A year ago walking into a bank wearing a mask would probably get you arrested. Now they won’t let you in without one! A year ago health department mandated quarantine was unheard of but it happens all the time now.

So while “usual” can be debated, it does not decrease the fact that in this election we were all winners before the candidates were announced. It has nothing to do with party affiliations and everything to do with the fact that we were born into an imperfect country that is continually reaching and seeking to be better than we are now. And it has everything to do with the fact that our founding fathers wisely put together a system of checks and balances to make sure we don’t get too crazy in either direction of what that looks like.

To further drive that point home I’m inviting each of you to read this ESSAY written by a relative. Whether you are one of those who rejoice or mourn over how things are going, my hope is that it will provide insight and (if you’re a mourner) encouragement.

Your Market Manager

We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!

We’ve lost track of all the questions asking if M@D is doing different events we’ve been involved with in the past. You know the answer, we can’t because of the virus. I have to tell you, my fingers are DELIGHTED to type what follows!

Dothan Nurseries will soon be announcing their annual Christmas Open House. It will not be held on Thursday as has been done in the past but all day on a Saturday. This will allow people more time as they come and go thereby reducing the crowd at any given time and allowing for proper social distancing.

Great plans are underway for live music, giveaways, etc during the day and of course Dothan Nurseries will have some fabulous sales going on as well.

In the short time since the decision was finalized six of our regular M@D vendors have committed to participating and more will be joining us in the weeks to come. We will be working hard to bring you a great variety of food/farm/gift items.

So MARK YOUR CALENDAR and make plans to bless your friends and family with Fresh, Local, Sustainable goods and gift items from right here in the Wiregrass.

PECANS

Here in the deep south we have PECANS. They are so versatile and so delicious. Trees are everywhere, and they are considered a seasonal cash crop. On years when nature does not favor their production prices are high, and in years where they are abundant, like 2020, those who pick them up don’t earn as much.

The trees are oblivious to all of this and continue to do their jobs of giving us one of the most delicious of all nuts. We hope this section inspires you to use them in some different and creative ways.

We can’t wait to try Brussels Sprouts with Bacon, Pecans, and Cranberries.

Keto Salted Caramel Pecans would make a great gift! Links to other great pecan treats may be found on this page.

Curried Carrots with Pecans are one of fifteen recipes featuring pecans in this collection.

ONE WOMAN’S STORY

The name in this account has been changed and the story is so typical of the powerful impact diet makes on health that it could actually be many of our local Market customers! (It’s not.) We hope it will encourage you to examine what does and does not work for you and replace your own “no” items with “yes” foods that you love and love you back by building your health.

At her first visit to a nutritionist, Ann (53), just had one goal: “I need to get healthy!” Her cholesterol was elevated (including triglycerides), and she had taken Lipitor for five years. Her blood pressure had been elevated in the past. She had acid reflux and had been on Zantac for 15 years.
She slept poorly and experienced sleep apnea and extreme fatigue. She was taking hormone replacement therapy for hormonal headaches that had plagued her for years. She had experienced swollen, painful joints for many years, which had developed into osteoarthritis. Her bowels tended toward constipation, and she craved bread and sweets.
The nutritionist noted her systemic inflammation, water retention, swelling, and constipation and suspected a food sensitivity. She suggested that Ann eliminate corn, dairy, and wheat from her diet; keep track of her body’s reaction to the changes; and then gradually introduce these foods one at a time.

When Ann returned four weeks later, she had determined through the elimination diet that she had a corn sensitivity. Since eliminating corn, she reported feeling much better, and the pain in her back and legs had diminished. Her constipation was relieved and much of the swelling and fluid retention also improved. Ann reported that “I lost only five pounds, but I feel smaller.”
Returning at eight weeks, Ann reported that the, “changes have been easy.” She had lost 20 pounds and her energy was much improved: “I wake up ready for the day.” She was walking a mile and a half each day and her cravings for sugar had also diminished, much to her delight. She reported feeling more in control of her eating.
At 12 weeks, Ann said the changes were becoming habit. “I feel so much better.” Her energy continued to improve; she had lost a total of 27 pounds, and she experienced less pain.

MARKET CHITCHAT

Holiday Schedule Announcement: We will be closed the week of Thanksgiving. Market will not open on Saturday, Nov. 21 so there will be no order pickup on (Black) Friday, Nov. 27. Regular ordering will resume on Saturday, Nov. 28.

In December we will open for orders on Dec. 5 and Dec. 12, then be closed till January 2, 2021

GROWER NOTES

We have the best Growers in the Wiregrass! Please learn more about them on our Grower Page.

AVALON FARMS:

Success! At last, one farm experiment proved successful. Hallelujah! We had several complete crop failures this year, garlic and winter squash were two biggies, but the trial of yard long beans has been a success. They have been growing since spring, made all summer, and now after a brief break, they are producing again. What they’ll do next year is yet to be seen, but I’m calling this a successful  proof of concept.

I want to say thank you to you all for your support during this difficult season. Farming is not for the faint of heart and has definitely tested my resolve this year. Let’s all move into a new growing season together.
