The Musings of Faith

READY FOR THANKSGIVING! Just cleaned up at the farmer’s market this morning. We, the entire family, were on a mission. My son typed up the list on my iPhone the night before while I rattled off items I needed for the dishes I wanted to create next Thursday. Hubby dropped off the big kids and I while he and the baby found parking. We scoped the scene, meaning I scanned all the prices while the kids quickly picked out samples trying to keep up with me. In 5 minutes, I knew exactly which farmers I wanted to buy from. This is the result. We did good! And I’m excited to eat cook another Thanksgiving dinner straight from the farmers. Everything smells good already. So fresh! Can you imagine Thursday?!

The Farmers Market This morning, I went to a farmers market for the first time ever. What a fabulous experience! My son, who was never liked any fruit beyond apples and grapes, now loves peaches and nectarines and is willing to try more “exotic” fruits. He HATED honey and was willing to try the dark honey pictured. He loves it! WOW! Such a big shift in sentiment and I’m proud of him for opening his mind and his palette. As for me, I was amazed at the size, quality, price, and variety of selection. The peppers were HUGE! I always thought farmers markets to be inconvient (only available at a certain time, day, and place) but now I can totally work it into my schedule. It’s worth it! I got the best value on food I have gotten in a long time. I like that the only handlers of my food is the farmer then me. And market shopping is so much more fun than grocery shopping. I am now a regular!
