The old Environmental Mills on Highway 290 just east of Old Kimbro Road is under new ownership.  They are offering free mulch for the taking.  There is a sign on the south side of 290 that says "Free Mulch" just before their drive way. Pull in and look to your right there is a big box of mulch.  Load it up and take it home.  They are burning the scrap wood down there and it smells like BBQ all the time at my house.

Saturday Afternoon Market

Good Morning,

Th announcement didn't go through yesterday so I'm trying again this morning. Dang internet.

For the market this week we have lots and lots of watermelon and cantaloupe for the fourth of July festivities. Many different varieties of peppers large and small, sweet or hot , in a wide array of colors. There are still plenty of tomatoes, cucumbers and potatoes for salads. Okra is coming in really well now with the heat. We have a great deal of squash, yellow straight or crook neck, zucchini, Lebanese, white scallop, patty pan, acorn, butternut, spaghetti and cashaw. All of them are great on the grill.

Last night we cut the yellow squash length wise, brushed brushed w/ olive oil, sprinlked kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper and put them on the grill. Fast, easy and delicious.

Also, we made stuffed jalapenos. We used a package of cream cheese, three stripes of lime zest chopped fine, the juice of half a lime and a small handful of chopped fresh cilantro. Mix and set aside. Cut jalapenos in half and clean out membrane and seeds. Fill cavity with cream cheese mixture. Put a shrimp on top and wrap the whole thing in half a slice of bacon. Secure with toothpick. Grill cut side down until bacon is crispy. Turn gently with tongs, don't squeeze or the cheese oozes out and grill til bacon is crispy on the bottom.

Sliced tomatoes with basil, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Watermelon, cantaloupe and fried catfish from a friend. Simple, local, tasty meal. In-laws are visiting from Nevada couldn't say enough about how good it all was.

Every Saturday, rain or shine, from 3PM to 7PM at the new Tech High School parking lot on Highway 290.

Eat well,

Food of the Week . . . Corn
Did you know that a one cup serving of sweet yellow corn contains 356 IU or 7% of your daily value for vitamin A and 108 mcg of beta-carotene, neither of which are found in white corn? Along with vitamin A and beta-carotene, yellow corn contains other carotenoid phytonutrients, such as beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin, which act as powerful antioxidants to help combat harmful free radical activity and prevent various degenerative diseases. A serving of corn also provides 18% of the daily value for fiber. Diets high in fiber-rich foods like corn have been shown to lower high cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of colon cancer, and alleviate some of the uncomfortable symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. And since corn is also tasty and fun to eat, it is a great addition to your Healthier Way of Eating—especially for those summer BBQs and picnics! Read More ...
