Farmers Market 6/28/12

June 28, 2012 by Elisabeth Norris Leave a Comment

Ended up at the market much later in the day than I normally go and wow, lots of people! But then again it is summer and not many people want to be at the market at 9am. It was nice to see a few new things… corn has finally made it to market. I also spied a some figs. Found quite a few things I wanted to get such as orchids and blueberries but decided against since I was short on cash this trip. I think I fared pretty well though. Most of these veggies are probably going to end up on the gril. I also have an idea for a basil/parmesan vinaigrette that I want to work on to pair with grilled zucchini and tomatoes.

Farmers Market 6/14/12

Oh summer fruits, I can no longer say no to you. What can I say, the fruit keeps getting better and better. Which also means I’m spending a bit more $$ to have these fruits but I’ve come to the conclusion that it is worth it since I will be gone for the month of July. I might as well enjoy them while I can. :)

I also think I am getting hooked on this whole buying bread at the market thing. I brought home a baguette. A two and a half foot long baguette! And an almond croissant.

  • Almond croissant
  • White peaches
  • White nectarines
  • Pluots (flavor queen)
  • Bing cherries
  • Basil

Not much interesting with the veggies. This week has been really nuts so I have no real direction meals. But I do always need garlic and onions.

  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Red garlic
  • Asparagus
  • Red potatoes
  • Yellow onions
  • Leeks – yes I am grilling these this weekend

The tomatoes though… these are a treat. These little guys came from down in the Central valley aka where they have enough sun to grow these little flavor bombs. The farmer was mentioning that these were picked yesterday, about 16 hours ago. And they taste like it. I <3 tomato season. So looking forward to the heirlooms in late July/August. But for now I’ll enjoy these little flavor bombs.
