Well, the farmers market was in full swing yesterday! There weren't that many more vendors than the last time I went (two weeks ago), but the weather was so amazing that the customers were out in hordes. I came away with a pleasing collection, including the finest asparagus to ever grace my plates.
I haven't been able to eat fresh fruit and veg for a while, but I've been feeling pretty good lately, and this meal definitely helped in that regard. I stirred some chives and dill from my garden into Tofutti 'sour cream', and it was so delicious with those little boiled potatoes and steamed veggies.
This morning, we had more amazing asparagus with local eggs, scrambled with more garden chives and dill. I could get used to this local thing. And since I've signed up for the One Local Summer challenge, I think I'll get my chance.
Sweet, I've signed up for OLS too. Looking forward to it. I've been on the lookout for a local flour mill because I've had daydreams of local, homemade pasta. Although, I've had no such luck!

Such an interesting blog! Love the tiny vegetables. Spring has been slow here in Michigan too...
