This morning, at the farmers market, for the first time EVER, I stood in line for peaches! Never in my memory has there been a line for peaches. But clearly the word has gotten out about them.
They were sacking 'em up and handing them out without missing a beat. I hate that I did not get the name of this farmer. Next week.
In the meantime, look at this gorgeous basket of greens. This week I am making kale salads with red pepper, zucchini, and a container of Lebanese bean salad. I love that it can sit in the frig for days and holds up so well.
This foursome was discussing something important, probably how they were going to keep cool later in the afternoon when the temps are getting up to 109 degrees Fahrenheit. I told them to go by and each get a bottle of Thuy's turmeric water while they were there.
This week I decided to feature "guy on bike" since last week it was "girl on bike". Truthfully it was the t-shirt that caught my eye. He talked his friend with the beard into joining him for the shot.
I got a tomato because how can you not when they look this gnarly good?
I admired her selection methods. I like to act like I know what I am doing when making my choices of what to purchase.
This musician was crooning "... oh I get by with a little help from my friends"... as I strolled by. I was tempted to drop my basket and harmonize with him but then remembered myself.
The flowers above were colorful... almost as lovely as the dresses of the arrangers selling them. Oh I do love a cute dress, especially in the summer.
Yep, one more succulent came home.
Here's the basket contents for the week.
All bases covered.
You forgot the cake.

Ah Chris! I still have a wedge of pina colada left from last week so had to pass on the brown butter banana this week. 😄
