Up-Coming "Urban Homesteading" Class
Sunday, July 29th, 1-4 PM
For those of you wanting to take your homesteading one step further, this is the class for you. Take the pressure out of pressure canning!! It’s easy and allows you to preserve low-acid foods not possible with a water bath canner including beans, carrots, corn, squash, savory broths, chopped meats, stews and delicious vegetable soups.
In this class we will demonstrate the safe use of two different types of pressure canners: the dial and weighted gauge types. We will prepare two tasty recipes, dependent on produce availability. Brands, sources, and sizes of pressure canners will also be discussed.
Cost of Class: $50.00
** MUST SIGN-UP ASAP, send in attached registration form with payment!!

Sexy Veggie of the Week
This week's Runner-Up is the totally outrageous Two Foot Long Chinese Red Noodle Bean.
What can I say... this is one astounding looking bean! At URABVORE, the bean plants use corn stalks as trellising and the two-foot-long burgundy pods dangle in the air like other-worldly serpents. It is quite a site. I love picking these fantastical beans cuz I feel like I'm in some sort of fairy tale. When I'm finished picking, I can use these babies like whips and get my apprentices to work faster!! Or I can put em' on my head (so that I resemble a sweaty Medusa) and scare the daylights out of Farmer Dan...at which point he and "Baby Perseus" try to cut my head off. Alright, alright, all bad joking aside, these beans are not only entertaining but delectable. They have a crisp texture with a nutty flavor that does wonders for any stir-fry. Heat up a wok with hot oil, throw in some chile pepper and garlic, and fry these babies with tofu and any other veggies you have on hand. If the heat is too much, try eating them raw in salads. Either way, you'll be in noodle-bliss.
This week's Grand-Prize-Winner is the mouthwatering Aunt Ruby's German Green Heirloom Tomato.
God Damn, I say God Damn!! Pardon my language but this is one hell of a tomato. This large, green beefsteak variety comes from Ruby Arnold of Greeneville, Tennessee who passed away in 1997. These awesome 1 lb fruits have a (slightly) flattened body with yellow-green skin that blushes a gorgeous salmon pink when ripe. The lime green flesh imparts sheer tomato bliss with adequate sweetness and a subtle spiciness. It is that slight spicy "bite" that makes this mater' so damn unique. Sadly, Aunt Ruby's is often over-looked on the market table. Despite my urgings, customers think it is an under-ripe red tomato or they are frightened by it's large size. It's a real shame!! Too many times have I packed up GORGEOUS German Greens after market, thinking "why don't they understand!!". Don't let your taste buds miss out another week!! Get wid' it this Friday and load up on these KILLER TOMATOES!!! 
Pictures are attached. You know the drill - print them out, blow them up, and plaster them all over the men's room!!
