Good morning and welcome to May’s final Fare Exchange. A former resident of Chattanooga, back for a visit, sampled local restaurants and groceries and left us a variety of questions. “How could I make at home a power salad similar to the one served at the Farmer’s Daughter? And where locally can one find the best summer tomatoes — and we need some Fleur de Sel salt to sprinkle on them, so where can we find it? And here are a couple of lime questions. I heard an excellent gin and tonic could be made with frozen limes, but I need instructions. Finally, can you buy frozen lime juice around here, or is it preferable to squeeze your own and keep it frozen?”
BEST COOKIE BARS
Mariannes Halbrooks has a compelling argument that she is sending us the best bar cookies ever, as per a recent request. She explained, “My family’s all-time favorite follows. It was originally sent in many years ago by Sallie Beckes of Rising Fawn, Ga. These are so delicious they fairly scream out your name as you (try to) pass the plate.”
