Farmer's Market


How I love thee, Let me count the ways....

1. The old ragged time musicians that tickle my ears....

2. The old ragged time washed board and sax that delight my ocular senses...

3. the radishes....oh the radishes!! Did anyone know that radishes were so good? They have become a staple in our home.....and the husband that cooks wonderful things with the radishes isn't so bad either.....

4. STRAWBERRIES! And matching Dahlia's for mere dollars.


5. Strawberry freezer jam that takes me back to my youth in Cali were we would buy ginormous flats of the berries on the side of the road and enjoy the jam the mom made all summer. My taste buds are happy....

6. The future Mellor Estate....JK, its the visitor center for the University but look at that porch!

7. Bikes and ivy covered buildings....

8. And making trips to the wonderful New Cascadia Traditional Gluten Free Bakery where we get day old Hallah (my favorite) for so cheap! Delish bread to eat with the strawberry jam. If you are free of gluten, P-land is the place to be.

Other products of more recent farmer's market visits.....fresh basil and heirloom tomatoes topped with mozzarella on great gluten free artisan bread, baked butternut squash, dark chocolate chunk cookies made with butternut squash leftovers, potato chowder filled with great earthy carrots and radishes in EVERYTHING!

Next stop, we are going to attempt butternut squash or pumpkin enchiladas, since gluten free ravioli with those fillings seems a more difficult feat. I will report on how it goes.

You should post some of these radish recipes. I am curious to see what exactly it means when you say you put them in EVERYTHING. I love radishes but don't cook much with them.

Really I just put them like I would a carrot. We have used them in salads, soups, stews, stir fry's fried rice etc.... My favorite however is raw with butter and sea salt.

Nice! I'll have to get some of those radish recipes. I ate a ton of them in Japan but not much since.
