A good farmers’ market, for me, is like a toy store to a kid; I want one of everything. The above was me showing restraint at the OSU-OKC market, which is easily the best one I’ve been to in the area. From the left: free range eggs (from a wool farm, oddly enough), Thai basil, shallots (which now reside in the white bowl on the toaster oven), mint (put one stem in a glass of water to be potted later), wheat rolls, cheddar goat cheese (made in the town I recently moved from), purple bell peppers, multi-hued carrots, and yellow roma tomatos.
Everything looks so delicious! I wish we had a Farmers Market.
Jean, I’m not sure where you are, exactly, but Vegas does have one. See: http://www.localharvest.org/farmers-markets/M832
I’m in Arizona, but hop over to Vegas about once a month. Thank you so much for the link! I can’t wait to buy fresh fruits and veggies!
I’ve never seen purple bell peppers before. That could be fun just thinking up ways to use them.
FF: They taste just like the green peppers — more on the bitter side than yellow/red/orange ones. But they’re so nice an colorful that I hate to use them in a way that masks that. They look very nice in stir-fries!
