Fresh and Beautiful
We find Farmer's Markets in many towns, usually on Thursday or Friday. The offerings here in Gurnee, Illinois were really varied and beautiful. I think they prepped the veggies for still life paintings. There is really nothing like the fresh taste of produce just in from the field. We got potatoes, radishes, and tomatoes. Harry got there before us and stocked up on corn, plums and melons. Looks like some good meals this week.
In addition to veggies, the Sisters of Notre Dame had French Pastries and Lester had Buffalo Meat. Somehow we missed the buffalo burgers in South Dakota so we bought some frozen patties. Lester has developed a herd of buffalo that include some stock from Custer State Park in SD. He goes there in November to get stock from the fall roundup.
Right now I'm wishing we had some of the French pastry to top off our "all you can eat" fish fry dinner at the golf course up the road. It's really fun to try out the local eateries and customs...like the fish boils in Door County, WI.
