Thank You
to the Tang

Skidmore's wonderful Tang Museum
presented a timely and thought provoking panel discussion on
"Farms, Food and the Future" last Saturday.
We were honored to serve on the panel and can say that there is an
impressive group of Skidmore students just raring to be farmers and
food issues people. The event was in conjunction with Slow Food
Saratoga, with Slow Food NY governor Ed Yowell moderating.
Skidmore Executive Chef Jim Rose's super delish and beautifully
prepared dinner of vegetables, cheeses and meat from local farms
and the Skidmore garden, was a masterwork in itself.
Thank you to all involved for your interest in the future of
farming and the country's food supply.
Visit the Tang:

(You'll see this wonderful shopping bag
just outside the Tang entrance.)

THIS WEEKEND:
Last Chance to Try
Posole???
Tamales are A-Steamin'
As a huge rainbow arced over Rte
22 and into Dave Ramos's camper after yesterday's 18th downpour,
the nose-twitching, tummy-activsting laroma of simmering Pozole
curled its way into the stand....Pozole, or, Posole (poh-SOH-leh),
the flavorful stew made with pulled pork shoulder, softened white
corn kernels, a tomato broth and seasoned with many generations of
secret ingredients.
Enjoy it with a squeeze of fresh lime or lemon, chopped lettuce or
cabbage, crumbled tortilla chips and hot sauce if you desire. The
combinations of flavors and textures are sensational. Pozole freezes well.
Ready at noon.... served until 6
p.m.
Pork and chicken tamales. This
weekend and next, then again next June.
(If you need a dozen or more,
please call ahead and we will reserve them for you.)
