How about we start with Lorenzo today? Before I show you the tomatoes, peaches, cucumbers, sunflowers, okra, basil, sweet corn, and everything else at the market this weekend. Lorenzo first, because he had the BEST smile, pointed out to me that his new sneakers had zippers in them, AND then wanted to see the picture I took to be sure it came out good. I showed him, of course.
Always buy your peaches from the vendor wearing their hat at a slant. If you can.
The heirlooms right now are spectacular. Get a load of the yellow/red swirl below.
The grandson, from Lebanese Flower, was sporting a cool hat that he got while he was in Lebanon. He told me he just returned from spending a whole month there and meeting all of his grandfathers extended family who still live there. I told him NOT to take the hat off. Ever.
Cute dog in baby carrier alert.
A family of girls was heading in to the market when I was leaving. My eyes spotted the smallest girl with her doll first, then I noticed the older daughters' cute earrings, followed by a smart mom with her coffee.
We are hitting "full bounty" season at the market. So much good stuff is ripe. As you can see, my basket was full.
My new try this week was the "Go-Green" juice from Thuy of Juice Garden. I got bold and asked her name this week because I like her and I can't keep referring to her as the juice lady.
It is GOOD (for you) and surprisingly the thing that really makes it is the celery. Who knew?
The minute I got my basket unpacked, after I sat on the porch for a few minutes, I peeled this peach and threw it in the bowl with the blueberries, put yogurt and granola on top, and all was right with the world.
