One of the main events of last weekend's Slow Food Nation was the Marketplace, a farmers market where the public could buy produce directly from producers. Farmers from 30 different counties in California were on-hand to sell everything from mushrooms to vinegar. Check out some of my favorite moments here.
Lately I've been feeling a little depressed about Summer coming to an end. I need something to get me excited for Fall, and I think a cookbook will do the trick. Not just any old cookbook, though. I want one that features Fall's most fabulous flavors, like Lou Seibert Pappas's A Harvest of Pumpkins and Squash ($15.95).
Can you help me find one? Look for cookbooks with recipes that feature Fall ingredients and hearty dishes. Save the books you discover in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag Fall cookbook. Happy hunting!

Galette
A flat, round French pastry with a thin crust that can be either sweet or savory. The galette may be made from puff pastry, a dough such as brioche, or, commonly, a sweet pastry crust. The range of toppings may include fresh fruit, nut pastes, jams, nuts, meats, egg, or cheeses. Unlike tarts, these pastries are more rustic, as they are made by hand without a flan ring or a quiche pan. Alternatively, a galette may also refer to a crêpe made with buckwheat.
The new unit, which will reportedly have a beta launch in early 2009, will remain the same size as an eight-valve soda machine by using highly concentrated ingredients to store more beverages. According to the company, switching in a new drink for the 100-flavor units will be "as easy as changing a print cartridge."
This could take an indecisive fountain drinker's soda-mixing habits to the extreme, or it could have zero impact on a diehard Diet Coke drinker. What do you think of this technology? Is it cool, or does it make a mundane thing unnecessarily complicated?
To make up for the absence of a nacho recipe today (surely you noticed it was missing!), I've decided to round up some of my favorite far-from-ordinary nacho ideas for your mouth-watering enjoyment. In case you missed it, here are six of my greatest nacho dishes. Have you made any of these yet? If so, tell me what you thought.
After a long day of pitching tents, cooking food, and preparing dessert, the gang at your campfire fiesta definitely deserves a drink. No camping trip is complete without beer, so fill a cooler with plenty of ice and ask guests to bring their own brews. I'll also pick up a few bottles of red and white wine.
As the host of this fireside fete, you can also offer a fun addition to the bar menu. Since you probably won't have the time or energy to whip up something like a guavarita, opt for spiking a watermelon with rum. It's summery and refreshing, it will go great with the Mexican-inspired main courses, and it's easy to eat around the campfire. Just consume with caution, since it will undoubtedly be strong!
