Farmers' Market

Travers Week in Saratoga is like no other time or place.  We feel the build-up at the Farmer's Market and each year we dedicate the week to the Thoroughbred race horses, declaring it "Apples and Carrots are for Thoroughbreds!" and offering samples of delicious local apple and carrot treats in turn for donations towards the well being of retired race horses.  This year I found a triumphant Apple Crisp that will make any trifecta seem trivial.  I am sure it will raise good capital for our local race legends at Old Friends at Cabin Creek retirement farm.  The key to this crisp is that it is in fact crisp!   Another key is that the apples are local tart beauties picked right off the tree and put into the dish.  The ingredients, oats, spices, sugar and butter merge with the flavor of tart apples sublimely--only the best for our noble friends!

Saratoga Farmers' Market

I don't know about you, but these beautiful August days and copious amounts of local bounty at the market are making me want to get out of the kitchen and celebrate with a big picnic! Below is one simple fare for a delicious picnic that has a grill close by. May I also suggest that while the cook is cooking, that one have a supply of pretzels and Gar La La's Red Pepper Dip along with glasses of Colebrook Country Wine to get the occasion rolling. We are so lucky to live where we do. There is nothing like August in Saratoga. Eat up and be merry!
