I finally made it to the Farmer’s Market today! I visited the French Market two weeks ago, but until today haven’t made it to my favorite Farmer’s market. I was amazed at the produce that was available. I’m used to shopping there starting Memorial Day weekend, so this was like being thrown into a grocery store in comparison.
\nI dropped off two pruners to be sharpened by Tony, the knife sharpener. I’ll pick them up next week. I don’t need them at the moment and it will give me a chance to visit with him again. He’s one of Elegante Mother’s favorite men.
\nThen, I bought a little from as many stalls as I could. I picked up a cauliflower, vine ripened tomatoes, pickle cucumbers, green onions, 2 cloves of garlic, yellow wax beans, five ears of corn, peaches from two different stalls, red raspberries, and a quart of crimini mushrooms. I have too many potatoes in my pantry, or I would have picked up some new potatoes. We’ve particularly enjoyed roasted peppers, onions and potatoes lately, so I should be ready for some next week.
\nThere’s a recipe for a simplified peach pie dessert in the June issue of Southern Living that I want to try. I may add the red raspberries to Cherrios or oatmeal for breakfast. All the other veggies will find their way into our meals this week.
\nI hope to have cherry tomatoes soon, so I’ll make a Farmer’s Tomato Pie for dinner when Dear Husband is off sailing. It’s the epitome of summer dining!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
