Farm Fresh

Today was pretty much the best.

Andrew and I went to a farmer's market nearby. Being August, just about everything is in season and crazy delicious and fresh. Fresh, as in corn that was picked this morning. 

I really can't wait to get cooking with some of the stuff I got:

•   Four sweet onions. These things are huge. Man it's gonna be good.
• Fresh green bell peppers. 
• Six ears of corn picked this morning.
• 18 fresh eggs (9 of which I will be bartering for some tahini in the very near future).
• A thyme plant, which hopefully will become part of a nice little herb garden outside my door.
• Red potatoes, which were mashed with pureed edamame to go with dinner.
• Pork chops (for the husband, naturally), locally raised.

Because we were on a roll, we stopped by the Public Market to get some salmon for myself for dinner, courtesy of the St. Paul Fish Market. This place has seriously every kind of fish, including Blue Marlin. It's all flown in daily and the quality is probably the best in the city.

The evening was then rounded out with a giant dinner with friends, a few glasses of wine, and Dr Who (which coincidentally blew my mind).

And to think, it's only Saturday!
