Here is the array of 16 pies I made over two days to give to Maria’s  family tonight at the Christmas party.
Special recognition goes to Peter Marshall and his wife for the Heirloom Long Island Cheese Pumpkins, from Peter’s Pumpkin Patch in Shakopee, MN.
These are the pie pumpkins my grandfather grew on our farm. He must be smiling down from heaven.
Notice also the hand woven Amish pie carrying baskets–two pies each!
Next week I start pie baking for our local friends…

Dearest Carmen,

Thank you so much for the salsa.  I look forward to it each year!  When I tell you that it is the best that I have ever eaten, I must make sure that you know that I am not comparing it to store-bought salsa.  My ex-husband was a gourmet chef and, through him, I have eaten at the homes and restaurants of amazing chefs, like Charlie Palmer and Rick Bayless!  Your salsa tops them all!

Thank you,

Carol

“I stopped by your Booth at the Bloomington Farmers Market yesterday to purchase a dozen of corn.  I went home to cook it and discovered that it was the sweetest corn I had tasted all year!  I went back to purchase the corn that was picked on Thursday. I will be making this into freezer corn. I am so happy to have found some awseome corn! While talking with Peter, I expressed that I would like to freeze tomatoes next weekend.  He requested that I write a note to you and that he would have some great tomatoes waiting for me to pick up next Saturday at the Bloom. Farmers Market.  I can be there by 8:30 if that works?  If you have any ideas how to freeze your tomatoes to be used in various recipes, I would love some advice.  I will also want to purchase peppers,  onions, zucchini if you have those available on Saturday.. I think that may add some great flavor to the tomatoes.  Thanks again!  I can’t tell you how thrilled I am with the corn.  I know it is only corn but wow!!”
Sincerely,
Laurie
