Local Food 7/3/2010

This was a nice day for the market.  Lots of local crafters showed up to help celebrate tomorrow’s holiday.  It was great to see the market so busy.  This week the CSA box had tomatoes!  I love tomatoes!  It also had green and yellow zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli, some teeny tiny eggplants, Anaheim chilies, potatoes, and right in the middle is GARLIC! Wooo!  It’s just a teeny head of garlic, but it’s a start! (I do have a trip planned to PA in the middle of the summer so I can stock up on garlic.)

I didn’t go completely crazy elsewhere at the market.  Not entirely at least.  I picked up quite a few onions, more zucchini and yellow squash, more tomatoes, and some locally made basil salt scrub.  And some cucumbers that blend in with the zucchinis. 

Most of the squashes and onions will be going into fajitas on Monday.  I’m not entirely sure what to use everything else for, but everything will get used!
