The hole that was missing in my life of the farmers market is back. It feels good to get going back down there. This week I had 3 in tow (Shannon, and the Mattas) and we went down there after a nice morning relatively lazy morning (I woke up before my alarm, and I think my shower woke others up) and wondered around. There was a bit of confusion on my part, because there is some construction and vendors have moved around and there are a bunch of new vendors. I was able to turn in several glass jars that I had empty over the long season. I got a few new things this year. I got a new bacon (haven't tried it yet), some pasta from Bagni di Lucca and several other things. We ate some, we bought some and a little while later my money was gone. We then headed over to La Mie and had a nice brunch. Shortly after the Mattas headed home. It was a nice weekend with a couple of surprises.

Chicken Alfredo
Bacon Tuskegee (replicating the dish from La Mie)
Gemelli pasta with Sausage, Onions and tomatoes (pasta from Lucca)
Hamburger (from Ebersole Cattle Company, first time for me buying from them, it is of the Maine-Anjou breed)
Chorizo Tacos
