Dothan, Alabama:  July 9 Market Newsletter


Dothan’s SUSTAINABLE Market is now Open

This and That

As luck would have it our next Market pick up date falls on a national holiday. National Give Something Away Day is celebrated annually on July 15. This is a day to give something to someone. It can be something that is a basic necessity like shoes or clothing or something more frivolous like flowers or a balloon bouquet. Spend time with someone in a hospital or just call someone to let them know you are thinking about them. National Give Something Away Day is a day to pay it forward and do something nice for someone, whether it is someone you know or a stranger.

Our Market Vendors will be celebrating by giving something to you! Each one will be leaving “something” at the market for customers to receive if you need or want an item. One gift per customer and first come first served. We will try to make sure everyone receives a gift and hope you’ll join the fun by paying kindness forward as you go through your day and come in contact with more people.

Blueberry season is winding down but we still have a few fresh ones to enjoy while it lasts. Don’t forget to check the rest of the vendor section for new products and restocks.

Ingredients
4 eggs, separated
1 Tbsp water
1/2 cup sugar
5 Tbsp butter, melted and cooled
3/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
 
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter an 8 inch round cake pan. Separate eggs. Add egg whites to a bowl and 1 T water. Beat until stiff. In clean bowl, beat the egg yolks together with the sugar, water and vanilla until light. Beat in the melted butter and beat for 1 minute. Beat in the flour. Add the milk and beat until well incorporated. Gently fold in egg whites to combine. It will be very thin and watery. Pour into prepared pan and bake for about 60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
