In this week's basket...
1 big bunch purple carrots
1 bag mixed salad greens/baby lettuces
1 heirloom cucumber
1 zucchini
1 summer squash
2 green peppers
My parents were in town this weekend for a visit and my third bridal shower (I am very, very lucky to be surrounded with generous family & friends!) My mom and I walked the 2.5 miles to the farmer's market to pick up this week's haul, and, having powerwalked so far, felt entitled to do a little extra shopping!
The first stall we hit was the cheese stall--how can you not stop at a place that holds out a bag of cajun cheddar cheese curds and offers you a sample!? Pups got his fair share of sniffs along the table's edge as we examined all the varieties...habanero jack; chipotle cheddar; dill havarti....but we settled on a horseradish & chive havarti, and kept moving. We eyed a double-chocolate muffin to take home for dad, who was reading and enjoying a lazy Sunday morning at home. We got him some raspberries as well--our shared favorite berry. And a few heirloom tomatoes rounded out our haul, consumed out $20, and filled up our bag...which we then got to cart the 2.5 miles back. Totally worth it.
You bet it was totally worth it. Good thing we only brought $20.00. We would have had to call dad to pick us up and pups.
ReplyDeleteI know! It is dangerous going to the market with cash..and hungry! It was so much fun to walk around it with you though. xoxo
