No messing around this week. Writing and posting this post on the actual day I went to the market. Pretty much standard stuff this week. Still have a fair amount of citrus from last week so I didn’t need to buy any. Though I did notice that the prices are starting to creep up. Most…

Farmers Market 1/24/13
Pretty minimal farmers market run today. Almost didn’t go but am glad I did. Kale Green onions Carrots Avocado Pomello Cara cara oranges Blood oranges Pink lady apples Lemons And one item I couldn’t resist… a bag of very rip persimmons for $1. Not sure what I will do with them but I will have…
Farmers Market 1/3/13 & 1/10/13
The start of the new year is now past. Everyone is seemingly falling back into the routine of life, myself included. December was nuts. I didn’t make it to a single farmers market in the month of December. Part of me enjoyed the break from having to be at a set place at a set…
Parsnip, Apple, Ginger, Soup
Back in early November I pulled out my two Irish cookbooks to find some different ways to work with all the apples and pears that were in abundance at the farmers market. Irish cookbooks always seem to have interesting uses for apples and pear that pique my curiosity. Because of this I always try and…
Farmers Market 11/15/12
While there is technically several more market days before thanksgiving, this is my final market before thanksgiving. Not that it matters that much given that I am not preparing the Thanksgiving meal and am instead brining a casserole that is full of stuff you don’t get at the farmers market. I was kind of amazed…
Farmers Market 11/8/12
What bright crisp morning at the market today. After a nice little heat wave we are cooling back down to autumn weather. The seasonal change of the market is finally taking place. Apples, pears, and grapes are the front runners in fruit. Along with a heavy showing of persimmons and pomegranates. Noticed several vendors with…
Farmers Market 11/1/12
Back at the market this week. I didn’t go last week because I felt like I had just enough produce to get through another week. It was a creative stretch but I think we fared okay. I’m not sure if the expense evens out over the weeks or not but I definitely spent more than…
Farmers Market 4/5/12
A day late, I know! But I did get back to the market yesterday after being gone for nearly two weeks. It really did feel like I overbought but I didn’t. Instead I ended up splurging on 3 “new to me” items. Making up for the last couple of weeks? Maybe. Satsumas Guava (possibly green…
Farmers Market 2/23/12
Thursday was such a bright and abundant day at the market. I truly do think it was due to the sun shining. The highlight was finding these awesome rustic/gnarly carrots and a purple cauliflower. I’m already thinking the cauliflower is going to be used for a soup that is heavily laden with goat cheese despite…
Farmers Market 2/18/12
Wasn’t able to make it to the Thursday morning market but instead went this morning. I am definitely blessed to live in a very small proximity to quite a few farmers markets that are open year round. While I was at the same location as the thursday morning market, it truly was a different market….
