What's New....We are very excited to welcome John and Kira's gourmet, artisan chocolates from Philadelphia. Featured in Gourmet magazine and on Martha Stewart, their chocolates are made using local ingredients or ingredients from small family farms. This week John and Kira's will be bringing some whiskey ganache filled spanish figs as well
as chocolate ladybugs, salted caramel bees, and samples of their ten
signature flavors. Please visit their infomative website to read stories about the people that grow their ingredients, including Drew Elementary and UC High School students in Philadelphia that grow the mint for Project Mintpatch.

The farmers and producers will be here with lots of delicious items for
holiday celebrations. We'll have local meats and portabello mushrooms
for the grill, cabbage for coleslaw,
lots of other vegetables, including new potatoes for potato salad (like the one in this week's recipe), and a limited selection of berries for holiday
desserts, not to mention delicious baked goods and cheese and coffee.
Joe Willson will play some patriotic favorites, and you can try your
hand at writing with a quill pen just as the signers of the Declaration
of Independence did.
We'll also have a raffle for $10 in market
dollars. All you have to do to enter is answer this question: (yes,
you can use the Internet to help) Name a signer of the Declaration of
Independence who was a farmer from Pennsylvania. By the way, this
person was the only signer whose sole occupation was a farmer, and he
hailed from Chester County!

Recipe
Herbed Potato and Sausage Salad
1 1/2 lbs small potatoes, quartered
2 1/2 tbs olive oil
1 clove of garlic minced
2 medium red onions, chopped into 1/4 in dice
8 oz cooked sausage, thinly sliced
3 celery ribs, trimmed and sliced 1/4 in thick
1 1/2 tbs red wine vinegar
1 tbs fresh tarragon leaves
1 tbs fresh chevril leaves
1/4 tsp red pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 small tomato, seeded, patted dry, and finely chopped
1. Place the potatoes in a medium pot and add water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, but still hold their shape, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside to drip dry.
2. Heat the oil in a skillet. Stir in the garlic, onions, and sausage, and saute' until the onion wilts, about 4 minutes.
3. Transfer to a large bowl and add the potatoes and remaining ingredients except the tomato. Toss gently and serve right away, or chill first. Stir in the tomato just before serving. Enjoy!
