This past Saturday Z and I took a little trip to the south si-eede to the Sunset Valley Farmer's Market and oh, it was so nice. We came home after about an hour with plastic baggies full of fresh fruit (blackberries and plums) and little tomatoes. The tomatoes are so plump and juicy that Z has almost eaten all of them--she's popping them in her mouth like candy. The plums were only purchased after tasting one, they too were too sweet and smackalicious to ignore: skin tasty and sour, flesh dark maroon and dripping. We got a whole bunch for only $2.50. The tomatoes were only $3.00; and the blackberries were $4.00 a container. Unfortunately, we should have also tasted the blackberries, because they're really too sour to enjoy. I smothered a bunch with yogurt this morning and they went down fine, but otherwise they really pucker the lips. Live and learn.
It was all so lovely, I think we'll make the farmer's market a regular activity. I just wish they had one further north.

The downtown Austin Farmer's Market isn't quite so far of a trek.

I went to that one a few times before they demolished the intel shell. It is just a wee bit closer. But still, it'd be nice to have one up north, don't ya think?
the manitou farmer's market doesn't actually sell food till july because of our tiny growing season. we just have music and crafts till then. that foto looks deeeelicious!
thanks! I worked on the photo!

in greece we went every week to buy our fruit & veggies, but here, the local farmers market only runs june to october.. otherwise we gotta trek downtown. but, now youve inspired me to go to it. it's probably worth the trip.
