Wednesday Market Back in Action
FRESH & LOCAL:
That's right, the Crescent City Farmers Market in the French Market is open! We have a great line up to start the season off right. Our returning vendors include the likes of Timmy of Perilloux Produce (he only grows big vegetables!), Mayhew Bakery with the best sourdough baguette in town, Spicy Lady Seasonings with homegrown herbs and spices, Burg's Bees - our favorite honey vendor, Blue Tara Blueberry Farm with certified organic frozen blueberries and sugar and additive free fruit popsicles, and Four Winds Seafood bringing fresh caught shrimp and whatever else finds its way onto the boat.
We also have some new vendors joining us this fall such as Berry Hill Farm with hummus, flatbread and assorted naturally grown produce, Suzie Q knife sharpening - you may know her from her other digs at Nola Boards, and Two Dog Farm, a young family grower of specialty produce, grown without synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Don't forget about live music every week and pop up cooking demos once a month! Stop by every Wednesday from 1-5pm - We offer 2hr free parking in the French Market lot for market shoppers.
PICKS OF THE WEEK GREAT THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES
Oh hello cherry tomatoes, so good to have you back. We have dearly missed your sweet, juicy pop and complex flavor. As the summer heat lightens up, field tomatoes, including cherries, are finding their way back to the market. These little fellas are the perfect ingredient in every meal, endlessly versatile and delicious. Roasted, stewed, smothered... Great for salads or blended into dressings... You can preserve them, pickle them, or eat them whole and raw! Cherry tomatoes are utterly snackable so pick up two pints to make sure some make it home! Check out the recipe of the week for a cherry tomato salad, great with that end of summer fresh basil.
SOUTHBOUND GARDENS WORKSHOPS AT THE MARKET
Visit the Saturday market through October for a workshop series courtesy of Southbound Gardens. $15 suggested donation.
Saturday Oct. 28: Container Farming Growing food in pots may not be ideal but sometimes it's all us city dwellers have! Join us to learn insider tips on how to set up a successful container garden including appropriate containers, drainage, soil, fertilizer and more!
LETTUCE TALK ABOUT LETTUCE
While we're used to the grocery store offerings of romaine, iceberg and spring mix, there are actually hundreds of types of lettuce and you'll find many of them on display at our markets now. While our amazing hydroponic growers coax yields throughout the heat of summer (and in fact, all year round), it is around now that field grown varieties start to appear. And with summer heat still very much present, dinner salads are a great no-cook option, with fresh crisp radishes, ruby streaks and other spicy supplemental greens readily available to add a toothsome kick. Options abound so try something new with old favorites: beautiful bibb is perfect for lettuce cups, or for the adventurous, there's lettuce soup or grilled romaine. Check out the many options and give something new a try. Tender, sweet oak leaf or beautiful flashy trout's back are some of our favorites.
VENDOR OF THE WEEK: BLUE RIBBON PIES
Here comes the "Pie Lady!" Hammond's own Blue Ribbon Pies will be at the market next Tuesday, on Halloween. Celebrate the tricky holiday with your favorite treat, they are certainly the best pies in town!
TUESDAY'S GREEN PLATE SPECIAL: LA MONITA POP UP
Simple, delicious Colombian inspired food made from locally sourced ingredients and a whole lot of love. Arepas, plantains, tropical fruits and everything in between inspired by a monita's (Colombian slang for blond girl) culinary journey through the amazing country. Catch them around New Orleans, popping up at awesome local businesses, like CCFM. Check them out here!
RECIPE OF THE WEEK: CHERRY TOMATO BASIL SALAD

David Fulmer - ECLIPSE ALLEY (launch!)
Please join us to celebrate the launch of David Fulmer's ECLIPSE ALLEY, the much-anticipated new installment in the award-winning and critically acclaimed Valentin St. Cyr Mystery series.
In the darkness of a May night in 1916, two "sporting girls" walking home through New Orleans' Storyville district come upon a body that's been hideously ravaged. And so begins Eclipse Alley. Valentin, the Creole detective who has spent the previous ten years working the scarlet streets, is drawn into a maze of lies, corruption, and madness, as dark a labyrinth as he navigated in the previous five award-winning and critically-acclaimed mysteries.
The sense of place is so palpable you can almost hear the music. Fulmer's writing is crisp and nuanced. Valentin is a hero for whom it's easy to cheer." - The Detroit Free Press
"St. Cyr is a great character, and the fascinating city and its larger-than-life denizens intrigue." - Publishers Weekly
David Fulmer is the author of eleven critically-acclaimed and award-winning novels. Chasing the Devil's Tail was nominated for a Los Angeles Times Book Prize, a Barry Award, and a Falcon Award, was on Borders' "Best of 2003 List," and won the 2002 Shamus Award. Jass was nominated for the "Best of 2005" lists by Library Journal, Deadly Pleasures Magazine, and The St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Rampart Street was rated New York Magazine's "Best Novels You've Never Read" and the audiobook won a Benjamin Franklin Award. The Dying Crapshooter's Blues received the BookPage "Ice Pick of the Month Award" among other plaudits and The Blue Door was nominated for the Shamus Award for Best Novel. Lost River was published in 2009 and The Fall was released by Five Stones Press in 2011. The Night Before, an adult holiday novella, was published as a Bang Bang Lulu Edition in November of 2012, followed by the historical Will You Meet Me in Heaven? in 2014 and The Iron Angel, the fifth novel in the acclaimed Storyville series, in March of 2015. His books have received superlative reviews from The Times Picayune, The New York Times, Publishers Weekly, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Washington Post, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, BookList, Kirkus Reviews, The Baltimore Sun, Mystery Review, The Detroit News, The Telegraph (UK), The Plain Dealer, Crime Spree Magazine, The Boston Globe, Crimetime UK, The Tennessean, Library Journal, Jazz Review, The Christian Science Monitor, and numerous other publications and book websites. His novels have been released in audiobook and have been translated into Italian, French, Japanese, and Turkish.

Paul Galbraith had his first guitar lessons with Graham Wade, continuing his studies with Gordon Crosskey at the Chethams School for Young Musicians. In 1980, he was a finalist in the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition. At the age of 17, Galbraith won the Silver Medal at the Segovia International Guitar Competition. Andrés Segovia, who was present, called his playing "magnificent." This award helped launch an international career including engagements with some of the finest orchestras in Britain and Europe (Royal Philharmonic, Chamber Orchestra of Europe, BBC Philharmonic, Scottish Symphony Orchestra, English Chamber Orchestra, BBC Scottish Orchestra, Scottish Baroque Orchestra, Ulster Orchestra, Hallé Orchestra and Scottish Chamber Orchestra among them). He toured the U.S. as soloist with the Moscow Chamber Orchestra, and performed in Prague's Dvorák Hall with the National Chamber Orchestra of Chile. His international touring has also brought him to Canada, Spain, Italy, Greece, Norway, Hungary, Brazil, China, India and Iceland.
Internationally renowned as a brilliant innovator of the classical guitar, Paul Galbraith has been working since the 1980s towards expanding the technical limits of his instrument, besides augmenting the quantity and quality of its repertoire.
These efforts have already resulted in a series of critically acclaimed recordings of works by Bach, Haydn and Brahms, along with his own arrangements of folk tunes from various countries, all of which demonstrate the originality of his musical personality. By exchanging the traditional guitar for the eight-string Brahms Guitar, which he helped to develop, Galbraith found the ideal instrument with which to interpret the challenging Classical transcriptions from his highly personal repertoire.

Alton Carter Talks About the Life of a Foster Child in
The Boy Who Carried the Bricks
METAIRIE, LA - Alton Carter, a former foster child and police officer, will discuss his new book, The Boy Who Carried the Bricks, at 7 p.m., on Tuesday, Oct. 24, at the East Bank Regional Library, 4747 W. Napoleon, Metairie.
This event is free of charge and is open to the public.
Abandoned by his father, neglected by his mother, shuttled between foster homes and a boys ranch for most of his formative years, a young man refuses to succumb to the fate that the world says should be his. Alton Carter does not mince words as he describes a childhood full of violence and hunger and neglect.
Early on, Alton decides he wants a "normal life"-even if that means standing up to abusive relatives and being teased by his siblings and cousins. Along the way, he keeps an eye out for those who might help lighten the load, never losing hope that such people exist. He was the first person in his family to graduate from high school and college.
Now the director of youth ministries for the First United Methodist Church of Stillwater, Oklahoma, the Oklahoma State University alum has dedicated his life to working with young people. In April of 2015, his debut book, The Boy Who Carried Bricks, was published by The RoadRunner Press. The nonfiction title won the 2016 Oklahoma Book Award.
In 2015, Carter founded the Alton Carter Inspire Foundation with the goal of assisting young people who have lived in foster care, group homes, or DHS juvenile facilities in securing a college degree. A percentage of the book sales from The Boy Who Carried Bricks goes to this cause.
For more information regarding this event, contact Chris Smith, Manager of Adult Programming for the library, at 504-889-8143 or wcsmith@jefferson.lib.la.us.

Imagine a place where the sun is hot, the water's warm, and the drinks are as cold as they are plentiful. Welcome to Margaritaville, the island paradise where city folk get away from it all, and the locals get into the kind of trouble you can almost always sweet talk your way out of. Take a break from your troubles, make some new friends at the bar, and kick back to the soothing sounds of the kettledrum. It doesn't get much better than this.
ESCAPE TO MARGARITAVILLE is the musical comedy getaway featuring both original songs and the most-loved Jimmy Buffett classics, including "Come Monday," "Volcano," "Cheeseburger in Paradise," and many more.

A new Comedy retelling the hightlights of the history of New Orleans!

A Special Flight Night We've done enough wine and cheese pairing classes here at Swirl to know that some things are just trial and error - there have been many times we've sat at Saint James Cheese with a case of wine and a board littered with cheeses from all over the world trying to find the perfect pairing. And there have been some wacky selections that have come from those stomach-churning nights of way too much rich cheese and wine - the one I remember most was the full-bodied Vending Machine Horror Show paired with a delicate Spanish goat's cheese, not something you would ever find together in any wine and cheese pairing book!
But luckily there are some pairings you can depend on time after time, varietally correct wines and classic cheeses that can be magically served together to create that perfect sensation. When a paring works, neither overwhelms the other and the flavors compliment each other and bring out the very best in both the wine and the cheese.
In our flight this week, our resident cheesemonger Casey Foote will team up with Erin and Chelsea to present 4 failsafe pairings you can create at home impress your friends. Erin and Chelsea will present 4 classic wines: a Sancerre, a Sparkling, a Pinot Noir and a Sangiovese while Casey brings you the cheeses to match. Learn what works with high acid, unoaked whites, what's the best cheese to serve with bubbles, why are reds more difficult to pair than whites and more in this special flight. The flight and cheese pairing is $25 or you can do the flight only for $20.
This week we also have Michael Knisley back in the house for one of his in-depth Champagne seminars - Exceptional Wines from Large Houses (see info below) as well as our regularly scheduled
Free Friday events,
Saturday Happy Hour and
La Cubana Food Truck on Mondays.
Exceptional Champagnes from Large Houses with Michael Knisley, Thursday, October 26, 6PM It's no secret that Bubblyothèque is all about showcasing the small growers who are giving us high-quality, small-production wines that reveal small pieces of the terroir of Champagne. But, if you've been paying attention, you know that I have plenty of respect for the larger champagne houses who rely on many growers to provide them the building blocks of wines that still demonstrate a terroir of Champagne, more broadly defined. At this tasting, we will look more broadly than usual, sampling wines from larger houses that take great care in their vineyards and cellars to craft exceptional wines. Big doesn't equal bad, and not all houses are created equal. Limited to 23 people and reservations are required ($45) - you can do so here:

October 25: Trumpeter Andrew Baham
Andrew Baham, 10/25, 7pm
On Wednesday, October 25, UNO Jazz Studies welcomes trumpeter Andrew Baham to Jazz@theSandbar. Baham will perform with UNO ensembles directed by Victor Atkins and Ed Petersen.
Andrew Baham has been on the path to become a major force in the music industry for quite some time. Inspired by the discipline and appeal of the marching band tradition in New Orleans, he began playing the trumpet at age 11. From that time on Andrew's love for music continued to grow. While in junior high, he began writing arrangements for the marching band for which he earned respect and accolades from his fellow band members.
Around the same time, a friend talked Andrew into auditioning for the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts. While there, Andrew received lessons from Ronald Benko (of the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra), renowned trumpeter and educator Clyde Kerr, Jr., and Nicholas Payton. In 1998 he began endorsing Yamaha trumpets and was the first recipient of the Doc Cheatham Memorial Scholarship.
Baham has performed with artists Mystikal, Mannie Fresh, Los Hombres Calientes, Adonis Rose, and The Ellis Marsalis Quinet. He has produced albums for The Stooges Brass Band, Big Sam's Funky Nation, and others. He has recorded with alto saxophonist Darryl Reeves, The Original Tuxedo Jazz Band, the Soul Rebels Brass Band, The Lil' Stooges Brass Band, and Big Sam's Funky Nation.
Jazz @ the Sandbar is presented by the UNO Jazz Studies Program with support from the UNO Student Government Association, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation, Inc., the New Orleans Jazz Celebration, Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro, WWNO FM, OffBeat Magazine, the New Orleans Theatre Association (NOTA), and Nathan and Pricilla Gordon.

Outside, fest goers will also taste tea and coffee samples - hot and cold - along with sweet and savory small plate offerings. Parents are encouraged to bring children in Halloween costumes to have tea - and photos - with Alice and The White Rabbit! Some fifty artists will offer opportunities to shop for that perfect item to embellish an outfit or enhance a collection.
The Gentlemen's Corner welcomes gentlemen (and ladies) to taste featured premium whiskeys while savoring a hand-rolled cigar on the outdoor, second level balcony. So civilized! There will be lots of music to tap the toes and burn up that caffeine with some traditional New Orleans Dixieland Jazz and Foxtrots. Scheduled performers so far include The New Leviathon Oriental Foxtrot Orchestra, Tim Laughlin Jazz Trio, and The Last Straws with more to come.
After a stroll through the oak-filled grounds of LaSalle Tract, ticket holders will take a seat among the priceless artwork inside the stunning new Jefferson Performing Arts Center. The traditional delicacies of High Tea will include tea, coffee, sweets and savories. Then, the evening will continue to unfold inside the beautiful Jefferson Performing Arts theatre, with the laughter of cabaret "Hot Stuff New Orleans Style" starring Becky Allen, Harry Mayronne and Chris Wecklein. The crescendo of the day hits when the curtain rises on our festival headliners, The New Leviathon Oriental Foxtrot Orchestra.
