Cool Cucumber SoupHere's a Cool Cucumber Soup for your long summer days.
"One evening in late July, Judy and I decided to take a long overdue soup journey. We both have shares in different CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture) in Brooklyn and we decided to utilize some of our fresh, local, organic produce to make a refreshing summer soup. Some of summer's most abundant veggies are cucumbers and zucchini, so I loaded up my backpack with these potential soup ingredients and hopped on my bike."Check out the rest of the story at Soup is Magik.
Did you know there's only one CSA in Alabama right now? How about you local Brewton farmers, ever thought about selling your produce to your neighbors, it's easy and so much nicer than letting Wal-Mart cucumbers shipped in from Chile outshine you. Brewton Eaters, find a farmer and ask him about buying some cucumbers and garlic, then find some goats and ask about yogurt, we can do this in Brewton right now!

In a blender; 1/4 cup plain yogurt, peaches, nectarines, watermelon, 1 tbs lemon juice, a little palm sugar or cane sugar if you like, not more that 1 tbs though. Blend, drink, grow more fruit then repeat! This will keep you cool and energized all day in this crazy Alabama heat.
I was thinking how cool it would be to open an organic juice bar at the YMCA here in Brewton featuring only fruits grown within 50 miles and dairy yogurt from local farms. What do y'all think about that?
