I’m lucky enough to live near the West Side Market. As good as it is though, the produce mostly isn’t locally grown. So I’ve been looking forward to the local farmers market, which sets up Friday night in the local community center parking lot.
I thought it was starting several weeks ago, but this past Friday was the first time I finally made it when they were there. And of course I forgot to go to the bank first. Good thing I didn’t, or I would have bought a lot more than we could possibly eat in a week.

Vegetables are so photogenic. Have you ever noticed that grocery store ads always show overflowing baskets of fruits and vegetables, and maybe some raw meat, but never Twinkies or boxes of Cheez-Its? Clearly, they’re appealing to people’s ideal of what they MIGHT buy when they go to the store, as opposed to what they actually buy in reality. Which is Twinkies and Cheez-Its.
I’m not buying Twinkies and Cheez-Its.
I’m buying Little Debbies and Cheez-Its.
Oh, fresh vegetables! They look so wonderful!
