Tuesday Farmer's Market

Have I ever mentioned that I love the Farmer's Market at this time of year? Because I do. Very much. Plums, pluots, white peaches, cherries, blueberries ... all so good. So, so very good. (Look at me! I could practically be a food snob with how much I love it all!)

This past Saturday, I went to the Farmer's Market as I almost always do (hello, Stalker), and they were having a cherry tasting for free. Normally you can taste anything at any stand for free, but last weekend they had one table that had cherries from each of the different farms that were at the Farmer's Market.

I totally tasted from each farm. The winner? K&J Orchards, hands down. Their cherries were big and plump and not damanged at all. I went over to their stall and picked up some chandler bing cherries. Asked the boy manning the stall if he'd be back on Tuesday for the weekday farmer's market. "Well, I won't, but my dad will." Good enough for me!

Totally loading up for the week (that last trip was just to get me through the weekend) on all the great fruit in season now. If I were all fancy-like I'd artfully arrange the fruit I bought and place it just so in dishes I bought specifically for plums and bowls I searched high and low for to house cherries, and take pictures of them for you, complete with perfect lighting. But I'm not.

So instead, you get pictures other people have taken. If you got my pictures, you'd see a plain silver bowl with some paper towel and the blueberries washed and plopped in there. That is, if you could see them in the darkness that is my kitchen. Oh well. The important thing is that they taste good, right? Right.
