 K’s parents are in town this weekend, so we made an early-morning visit to the Beaverton Farmer’s Market yesterday – more than likely, our last market visit for the year. It’s quite a testament to how wacky our growing season has been this year – I’ve never seen the market this teeming with produce this … Read On! There’s More!  Woo-Hoo! We’ve made the farmer’s market three weekends in a row. Check out these giant onions! The Hillsboro market isn’t the most photogenic market in town, but the prices are just amazing. Seven poblano peppers for two bucks! Heirloom tomatoes for $2.50 a pound! Best of all, we finally scored pickling cukes. I do … Read On! There’s More!  I must admit, I really loved waking up not-exhausted this Saturday morning. We headed out to the Portland Farmer’s Market at PSU early, after a trek to our favorite waffle cart which ended up being closed. She said thwartedly. I didn’t buy any of that lush basil, as I live in a non-pesto-appreciating household. But … Read On! There’s More!  Life finally conspired to let us pop over to the Hillsboro Farmer’s Market this weekend. It was eerily empty, which meant things were amazingly priced. I tried to give as many veggies good homes as I could, but we’re gonna have to put our backs into eating it all this week. Unrelated: I do think … Read On! There’s More!  We made a quick stop at the Orenco Farmer’s Market this weekend. It’s not much of a market, but I was able to find a few nice images. More importantly, though, I scored some berries to make a switchel. Have you ever heard of these? They’re vinegar-spiked drinks – I first heard about them via … Read On! There’s More!  We are soooo late this year, starting up our annual Farmer’s Market visits. Either the weather’s been too crappy, or I’ve been too exhausted by the weekend, or both. But today, fortune smiled on us at last, and we headed out to the market at Portland State University. It’s another odd season up here – … Read On! There’s More!  Since it’s a holiday (Columbus Day) in the U.S. and Canada (Thanksgiving), I think I’ll share the spoils of my latest farmer’s market visit. K and his parents and I had a lovely visit to the Beaverton market over the rainy weekend. I also got to play with K’s iPhone camera, which – wowee! – … Read On! There’s More!  Wow. With everything that happened in August, we managed to miss four weeks of farmer’s market visits! So we were thrilled to make our way to the gorgeous downtown Portland market this morning. My friends, pepper season has arrived. And it is good. I adore the colors, shapes, and general profusion of peppers that parade through … Read On! There’s More!  This week, we prefaced our visit to the Orenco Farmer’s Market with a little early-morning walk through the old town and newer developments of Orenco. Which sufficed to get us good and hungry for the food stalls. (Those are leek tops, by the way – I loved the mosaic-y look.) The height-of-Summer veggies, like tomatoes, eggplants, … Read On! There’s More!  We made a quick trip to the Orenco Farmer’s Market this morning. It’s a small market with only a few produce vendors, but we scored lots of good Summer treasures. (Imagine these babies roasted with some olive oil, salt, and a little rosemary. Mmmmmm.) I also made a produce-buying-breakthrough! Every year, determined to make this roasted … Read On! There’s More! |
