Saturday Morning Farmers MarketWith the weather being much cooler yesterday because a storm was coming in, I headed to the Downtown Phoenix Public Market to see what it had to offer. I was impressed. It was a bit bigger than I expected, not huge by any means, but very manageable with plenty to offer. I took a camera, my messed up pseudo messenger bag that I hate more every time I use it (think portrait, not landscape), and a bit of cash hoping to get a few good things for Liza and Luna. I checked it out and immediately knew my bag wasn't enough. I picked up a few items and headed back to the truck for a couple more bags. I found everything I was looking for and a few more things as well. The best find was picking out more plants for the garden; lemon grass, mint and basil. You can't have enough basil is you ask me. The storm was coming in fast. The wind picked up and after a ten second thunder roll and some lightning, it was time to go. I brought home herbs, bread, coffee, scones, flax seed crackers, various fruits and vegetables and a bit of cheese. I'm happy with everything but without establishing a meal plan ahead of time (not my specialty), not everything goes together. We'll have to be creative and make it work. Next time Liza and Luna will be with me and we'll keep everything in reason. I overbought. A One Gallon Container of Olive Oil
There is something great about opening a one gallon container of olive oil. It was time to refill our container again, it really doesn't seem to last very long around here. The Genco brand is not our usual but it's always good to try something new. It has an incredible nose and I was surprised by it's rich green color. The flavor is amazing and intense. As you can see in the background, this task was completed in under one beer. I did have to use pliers because the plastic seal ring broke when I tried to open it. |
