I'm not a vegetarian but I dislike factory farming and I support small, family farms.

Today at the Farmers Market
I think I'm going to be a regular at the Oakland Farmer's Market. I got two pounds of a mysterious asian green that tastes a lot like sorrel. I got six large fresh lemongrass stalks. I got two pounds of fresh basil and a pound of fresh thai basil. I got a bunch of cilantro. I got a quarter of a pound more of the wonderful mustardy peppery cress I got last time. I got three pounds of roma tomatoes. I got a pound and a half of FRESH peanuts (to boil and roast). I got two pounds of another unknown asian green. I got a still-warm crusty crunch baguette. Total cost - $16. I also got two tamales for lunch from the tamale vendor. One traditional wiith pork and tomatillas and one Oaxaca chicken mole wrapped in banana leaves. $4.75 with nine different kinds of free salsa.
Peaches - even organic - were running $1 per pound but I got there too late - what was left was kind of manky.
I'm making some thai food this weekend (the sorrelly green vendor threw in some jalapenos for free) I expect and some pesto and some greens. Have a good weekend everyone!

I ADORE the farmers' markets here. The food tastes better, costs less, and makes me happier. I can talk to the farmer who has grown the produce. It's all organic. And subtly, insidiously, I feel like I"m committing a daring political act.
Enjoy your stash! What are you going to do with the lemongrass stalks?

My one sadness about the Oakland City Center Farmers Market - its small and there's no meat - oh well - still a great place. So I am extra envious of he pig cheeks Biggles!
Owen, when do we get to hear about what you did with all your treasures? Wish I had a farmers market that well stocked near me!
