Hard to believe, but this will be out last Winter Market! Hopefully, the weather will be kind to us and end with a perfectly delightful day! While at the Market stop by Artisans Gallery and check out our featured window exhibit. For the next 2 weeks, we are featuring the collective works from the students at the Renaissance Academy. It's a beautiful selection of original pieces from all age groups. The children really out did themselves this year!
This week's featured OVC's coffee is "Evening Blend" was made especially for those who simply want to limit the amount of caffeine in their systems without sacrificing the yum factor. All the flavor and half the caffeine. It is comprised of a Central American "regular" coffee and a natural water-processed decaf, roasted just a tad dark to bring out the bittersweet flavors in the bean. This coffee has the flavor of fresh-roasted nuts and a touch of honey-like sweetness. The blend was made completely with Fair Trade and organically certified coffees so you wouldn't have to compromise flavor or your beliefs. The coffees used in making this blend pay fair wages to the farmers and the pickers and even provides for health care and education. They also reinforce the desire to keep the farms sustainable so that we will be farming these lands responsibly, well into the future. We can all sleep better knowing that. If the weather permits, we will be bring iced tea & iced coffee along with quiche, wraps, energy bars & scones. And I won't forget the "hot chocolate"!

RECIPES
 Pickling from scratch is not rocket science: You need a vegetable, and you need vinegar. That said, pickled radishes are especially satisfying. They sate our hunger for instant pickle gratification because they take barely 30 minutes to make from start to finish. Fresh tarragon gives the radishes a hint of anise-y flavor that infuses not only the radishes but their pickling liquid too. Uses for pickled radishes are limited only by your imagination: Slice thinly and shingle on a sandwich, chop to perk up a salad or serve as dippers alongside Green Goddess dressing. And save that pickling liquid to use in a simple, punchy vinaigrette.
Pickled Radishes
Yield: 1 pint INGREDIENTS 1 cup white wine vinegar 1 cup water 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 1 tablespoon kosher salt 2 teaspoons granulated sugar 8 medium radishes (preferably breakfast radishes), quartered lengthwise ½ small red onion, thinly sliced crosswise 8 tarragon leaves DIRECTIONS
Bring the vinegar, water, garlic, salt and sugar to a simmer in a medium saucepan set over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 20 minutes.
Turn off the heat, then add the radishes, onion and tarragon. Cool to room temperature, transfer to an airtight container and chill (they stay crunchy and flavorful for up to one week).
Spinach & Shiitake Salad With Citrus Dressing INGREDIENTS 4 oz Shiitake mushrooms
6 cups trimmed spinach leaves in bite size piece 1 cup chopped tomatoes ¼ cup vegetable oil ¼ cup grapefruit juice
½ tsp Dijon mustard
salt/pepper to taste DIRECTIONS
Trim stem ends of Shiitake, cut mushrooms into thin slices. In a Small bowl whisk together grapefruit juice, oil, mustard, salt/pepper. Pour over mushrooms while preparing the spinach/tomatoes. Toss gently, spinach, tomatoes, and mushrooms. Serve
