we have a new farmer's market just a hop, skip and a jump away. we discovered it last week and tried a few things and were so blown away by vegetables with 1960s taste that we anxiously awaited our return this saturday. so here is our haul. isn't it gorgeous?
another reason to love living in california.
we have gone to farmer's markets everywhere we have lived but none have had anything that was any different or better than what we'd find in the grocery store and at triple the price. these are all comparably priced - some are less than store cost -
and i cannot even describe to you the difference in taste. incredible.
this makes us very happy.
the little bit of lettuce we have leftover from last week is as fresh as a daisy.
what a great summer we have to look forward to.
have you tried the trick of rinsing your strawberries in vinegar water? it kills mold spores and does not affect the taste. you can rinse them with clear water if you want but it is not necessary. i tried it for the first time with these and they are absolutely perfect today. let me know if you do this or try it yourself.
thanks for stopping by. until next time. happiness to you. from me. with heart.
