Produce from today's journey.
Every Wednesday and Saturday, Santa Monica hosts a farmers market on Arizona Avenue. For the past two days I've been hold up inside, buried in my computer on a project for work. So today it was a MUST that I get out of the house. I got SB to go with me for a walk down to the market. I love doing this on a weekly basis, if I can make it happen. I use to work next door to this and went every Wednesday, sometimes for breakfast and dinner. It's a feast for the eyes, spurs on the creativity for what to make or photograph. Plus you get to sample all the produce.
Usually I walk down here myself and listen to a podcast, like KCRW Good Food, which always gives a break down of whats in season and a little extra from Jonathan Gold, LA Times food writer. Recipes are usually included. Here are a few gems from my iPhone on what we saw and bought today. Enjoy!
Brussel Sprouts, which we ate tonight.
Sweet Satsuma, one of which was sliced and dropped into my Old Fashion tonight.
Seriously the Frisee and Radichio looks like a tide pool full of sea urchins.
Persimmons for days. Can't wait to try a recipe with these.
FLowers are always part of a Farmers Market journey.
