The early bird catches the spinach
I have a fundamental problem with getting up and out of the house by 7:00 on a Saturday morning. But last week it ensured me a bag full of fresh tender spinach from Primrose Community Farm and it’s sweet, green, fresh flavor is enough to tempt me again tomorrow. Who knows if there will actually be any spinach but that’s part of the fun of cooking seasonally. My dressing on this salad is far from local but then my intent is to do the best I can…every little bit helps. It’s a mix of olive oil, dijon mustard, rice vinegar, and yuzu dressing (it came from World Market). I added sweet naval oranges and green onions. The first salad of the season and it was a big hit.
I’ll append a list tomorrow of what I find at the market. Cristie commented in last week’s post that she was looking forward to watercress…what are you looking forward to?
It was a head down, hurry-up and get home before I freeze kind of morning at the farmers’ market. Geez…it was painfully windy and cold…snowflakes were sighted! I was back home by 8:00…very little chit-chat going on but I certainly do appreciate the farmers and producers for bringing their tasty products for us to buy. I bought:
- Breakfast sauage, bacon, and pork tenderloin from Eric at Jordandal Farm
- Fresh spinach and tender chives from Primrose Community Farm
- Baguette and pain au chocolat from Madison Sourdough
- Eggs from Dreamfarm
- Raw milk cheddar from Brunkow
- Muester from Edelweiss Creamery
- Maple corn and little sausages from Sunnyhill Acres
- Raspberry kolachi from some lovely new bakers…but I don’t remember their names
Did you go to a market? What did you get?
