cookin’ at the market

Yesterday was cooking demonstration day at the Wytheville Farmers Market and I got to be the Ol’ Rock’n Roll Chef one more time. Folks, I had a blast. I’d like to thank all of you who stopped by to say hello. It is truly gratifying to meet my readers.

I’d also like to thank Louise Bennett, who acted as my sous chef. Louise is a Personal Chef from Rural Retreat. She cooks, bakes, shops, and does meal plans among her many talents. This lady really knows her stuff, and I couldn’t have done it without her. If you could use her services, give her a call at 276-686-5031. Louise had to leave around 11:00am, and my lovely and talented wife Anne stepped in.

I decided to make omelets, and I was able to buy all the vegetables and eggs I used from the vendors at the market. I hope those of you who got to taste the samples we gave away enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed making them.
