Great tips! Loved the video…

I have an easy recipe for using some of those farmers market tomatoes that takes less than 30 minutes to make.

I just realize how little justice this photo does to these tomatoes. That one in the upper left corner was HUGE, much bigger than the size of my hand.

I’ve had that happen too. Another good reason to pack tupper!

Yes that would be great! Unfortunately in San Francisco we have neither of those things….

Love that pic of the heirloom tomatoes … yum! Here’s another solution to avoid transport: grow your own…that is, if you have ample garden space with lots of sunlight. It’s worth a try and saves you money!

I love the farmer’s market. I wish they were open all year round. But, alas, I live in Minneapolis (a.k.a. the arctic.)

I would also like to point out, for your readers that may not already be aware, going to the farmer’s market is a great way to spend a morning or afternoon, not just buying fruit and veggies. Most of them have music, face painting, games, etc. Great for a family outing.

i was on the train with a quart of peaches, and someone “mistakenly” kicked them… let’s just say… i was extremely upset…
