Another Day at the Market

Almost four months into 2008 and we've only visited the Red Stick Farmer's Market twice this year.

The Advocate usually runs a list in its Thursday Food section of what will be availalbe at the market. I was looking forward to asparagus and eggs.

When we got to the market today, no asparagus and no eggs...

I don't know if The Advocate got its list wrong or arriving to the market -- which opens at 8 a.m. -- at 10:30 a.m. means for slim pickings.

We were able to snag our Smith Milk, Smith creole cream cheese, mixed lettuce, mixed sprouts, red and yellow grape tomatos, red and yellow and purple bell peppers, green onions, stuffed grape leaves and hummus.

We think Jonas may have bothered the man with the Mediterranean food -- "I want a hamas package," my mischievous son said loudly... Thanks to this short:



We also made it to Vinh Phat and Tienda Gloria. Vinha Phat has a hodge podge of oriental products and produce and smells while Tienda Gloria reminded us more of a conveinece store. It was fun!
