Fresh From The Famer's Market
* Thanks to A Veggie Venture for this great Farmer's Market icon! :o)
This summer I've been utilizing the Farmer's Market more than I usually do since it's been so hot and dry and my garden isn't doing so stellar this summer as it did last year. Alexis enjoys going to the Farmer's Market and picking out things that interest her, but mostly she just wants more peas, cucumbers and tomatoes! ;o)
This week this is what we found:
Cherries, plums, yellow tomatoes, cucumbers and more peas.
The yellow tomatoes this year are just wonderful!
They are great as is, in salad or even as a pasta topping! They are very sweet, with just the right acidity. They are truly some of the best I've had in years.
Cucumbers!
Lovely, lovely cucumbers! There is something just wonderful about freshly picked cucumbers! I didn't plant any cucumbers this year. They didn't have them when I initially bought my plants and then I forgot to add some later. These little gems are especially tasty and Alexis and I have been really enjoying them.
And cherries!
I'm a HUGE fresh cherry fan and the ones that are local are especially delicious! You just can't beat that tree ripe goodness!
And lastly Methley Plums!
I had never had these before, but they're delicious! They are smaller than most of the plums I am used to (about the size of a walnut), but they truly are the sweetest plums I've ever tried! Hopefully they'll have some the next time we go too! I think they would make an excellent cobbler or pie!
So that was our pull from this week's market. I wonder what we'll find next week? ;o)
