Farmer's market: Saturday, June 12


Finally! The sun is out! And the market showed very welcome signs of summer.
  • Halibut Filet
  • Bay shrimp
  • Asparagus
  • Cherries (1st of the season!)
  • Hood strawberries (1/2 flat)
  • Sugar snap peas
  • Carrots
  • Beets
  • "Italian" zucchini
  • Fingerling potatoes
  • Milk
  • Quart of honey
  • Treats for Rachel: Mini-strawberry lemonade cupcake, raspberries and white chocolate buttercream sandwiched between two flower shaped chocolate shortbread cookies
  • Pork Tamale
  • Dhosa
There's a new stand at the market selling Dhosas filled with curried potatoes and fresh coconut relish. In case you've never had a dhosa, it is like a large lacy crepe made from a batter of fermented rice flour. Very delicious and reminded us how much we love Indian food, but we cook it relatively seldom because it is relatively labor intensive. I'm sure we'll do "takeaway curry" at least a couple of times while we're in London. Gonna have to take a break on the tamales--they haven't seemed as good the last couple of times we got them.
