Spring Produce: Finally!!!
Dylie and I had a BLAST this morning. We left the house at 6:45, and drove down to the market listening to Radio Disney (what else?).
Once we arrived, we only had 45 minutes to do our shopping, so it was truly a whirlwind! I re-introduced myself to one of my cheesemaker idols (Judith Schad from Capriole). We met years and years ago at an American Cheese Society conference, and she was gracious enough to pretend to remember me! At that booth, we bought a Wabash Cannonball - so excited to eat it!
We then made our way to my favorite sprout vendor for some snow pea sprouts, and to the crepe stand for breakfast. I had a butter and sugar crepe. Dylie had maple. Once we ate, we had to really book!! We bought French breakfast radish, asparagus, a patio tomato plant, a basil plant, chives, gai lan (Chinese broccoli) and the very best thing of all: FIDDLEHEAD FERNS!!
Fiddlehead ferns don't taste very unique. They are kind of like asparagus. BUT, they are only available for about two weeks, so they are a real treat. I love stuff like that!
