Farmer's Market

I have been slacking. I took most of June off from my blog and I have no excuse besides that it was vacation time with the parents. Well, that's not always a vacation either. It's also hard to be away from home for 3 1/2 weeks and even think about doing anything but enjoying perfect Southern California weather and our 13 day road trip to Canada. The road trip was exhausting (future blog post), but it was a good bonding with the parents. Yet I don't be doing it anytime soon with them again unless we rent a huge RV and I can hide in the back the whole ride.

One of the worst things about road trips is that no matter how well I eat, after about a week, is that I am done with eating out. I just can't stand the sight of another menu and don't get me started about fast food. We rarely eat it when at home, so when you are forced to on road trips (so that you can make good time)--blah. I never want to see Wendy's again.

So I was thrilled to get back to the Farmer's Market today and see LOTS of new things on the tables. Potatoes, onions, peaches, cabbage, tomatoes are starting to ripen, etc. etc. I was like a kid in a candy store!

My bounty today: carrots, radishes, beets, small potatoes, eggs, snap peas, garlic, green cabbage, yellow cherry tomatoes, regular tomatoes, zucchini, onions and peaches. I am glad that I went early because the peaches were gone by 7:20! No salad mix this weekend due to the extreme heat that we have had in the Midwest, but I was pleased with everything else that I picked up.



When I was uploading my pics to my computer, I noticed that I had an old Farmer's Market pic from May 23 that I never got up on the blog. My husband was gone in Chile for work, so I didn't purchase a lot of things--peonies, salad mix, arugula, radishes and some tomatoes. But I did LOVE my peonies. I wanted to buy a bush this year, but was too late. I need to purchase one before they start to bloom out here because there were no bushes left by the time I decided to buy one.

I'll be cooking a lot more this week, so blogs to follow!
