It does not appear you can really tire of tomatoes. Eating them at breakfast may be problematic for some, but remember the British insist on a grilled tomato or tomato slice with their full English meal.
However you eat them, you will find plenty of tomatoes at the Wake Forest Farmers Market this Saturday, Aug. 23, from 8 a.m. to noon. You can find the market and its vendors in the parking lot behind CVS with entrances on North White Street and Roosevelt Avenue, this using the drive-in for CVS.
There are a lot of other vegetables on hand too – corn, carrots, peppers, potatoes, beans, peas, squash – along with herbs. Try some mini-greens, pick up some garlic, eggs and honey. Melina’s Italian Kitchen can provide pastas and sauces for several meals. You should try the different styles of cheddar cheese from Cultured Cow Creamery, which is just over the line in Durham County. You can become addicted to the cheese Danish from Edna Lee’s Farm to say nothing of the stuffed breads and sweet rolls from Yummie’s.
This week Kyle Scobie will entertain. Remember the market does not pay the performers so put a few bills in the tip jar.
The Master Gardeners are always at the market, ready to help with gardening problems, and the VFW and American Legion veterans are always ready to take your dollars for their raffles and dinners to raise money to help other area veterans.
See the market on Facebook, take a look at all the vendors and their wares as well as special events at www.wakeforestfarmersmarket.org or call 919-671-9269 if you need information.
