Kids are getting all of the attention lately. One of our favorite vendors, Brewla Bars, was tagged in Daily Candy Kids today! Congrats. Here is what they have to say about Rebecca’s creative and delicious frozen treats:

“We thought we’d never utter the words, but it is possible to have too much ice cream. If daily trips to the creamery have you feeling lactose intolerant, change things up with one of these refreshing alternatives. . .For a frozen treat that also packs a little mom-appropriate pick-me-up, try Brewla. Most of the popsicles are brewed with coffee or tea. Need a little extra lift? The Remedy (raspberry green tea) and the Buzz (sweetened espresso) give you a shot of caffeine.”

For more family-friendly ideas for the upcoming weekend. Join us at the Seaport on Saturday as Sesame Street’s Gordon and Elmo perform LIVE on the stage for FREE at Children’s Day at the South Street Seaport. Check out the Website or visit them on Facebook for real time updates.

Rhubarb Rhubarb Everywhere, Plus Today’s Specials

Sunday, June 5th, 2011

At my local farmer’s market yesterday, bright rhubarb spears seems to spring from every table. At our own market, Red Jacket’s heaping pail on our opening weekend had me thinking pie. I knew the pre-made Pillsbury crust my mom left in my freezer wouldn’t cut it but the lesson on leaf lard and pie dough I read was too labor intensive for my summer cooking style. I might have lucked out.

My friend Ilene splits her pork CSA with me from Flying Pigs Farm. Turns out rendering the lard isn’t necessary as the pickup this week including pre-made pie dough (no Pillsbury here, sorry Mom). So a rhubarb pie might be on the agenda for this week after all. I am gonna try this recipe from the Times (as tagged via Amanda Hesser’s Twitter feed @amandahesser).

Today at the market spend $25 with NYFarm2Door and get 10% off; spend $50 and get 20% off. We’ll be grilling their dogs and burgers again this week topped with Sour Puss Pickles and Migliorelli’s lettuce. I hear Grandaisy Buns might make an appearance. Welcome back 2010 vendor Brown Bag Bakery this weekend. Liz is bringing Bacon Cheddar Scones and Bourbon Almond Tarts for you. See you today at the market.
