My Farmers' Market
I am amazed at all the great information you guys are posting here. I haven't made anything in the last few days, however I went to the FM this morning to stock up on Veggies and Fruits. I got several Oro Blanco grapefruits (very sweet and great tasting), tangerines, Fuji and Pink Lady Apples, 1 head of fennel, walnut-rasin bread, russet potatoes, ginger, some sprouted beans, cale, shitake and crimni mushrooms, and some sweet snap peas. I am planning on making mushroom soup and probably some meal with the fennel. I also had an idea of making my own yougurt. As I don't have a yougurt maker, I am simlpy using a small pot. I heated organic whole milk (cream top) and mixed a bit of yougurt (about 4 table spoons). Then covered the whole thing with a thick winter coat (quite inventive, I know) and placed it infornt of my heater as I was worried it won't keep warm enough for 6 or so hours. Will report what happens soon. :)The FM is quite colorful
those tomatoes look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe this. You people in LA are so privileged! You not only still have FMs opened but you have heirloom tomatoes ....
ReplyDeleteHow the yogurt turned out?
I was embarassed to talk about the yogurt (I was complaining to my dad earlier). It didn't turned out good. I am not sure what the cause was - either low temperature or the type of pot I used. I think next time I will try it in a glass dish as I believe the temp. should have been fine. Such a disapointment. :(
ReplyDelete... by the way the FM here are open year-round. There is one at least every day of the week so if time permits one can buy totally fresh stuff every single day. Wish I had the time for that. I will post more pics when I go next time -- I love the atmosphere and now beaututifl and fresh everything is.
