The Meat Experiment
It’s easy to eat locally grown vegetables when you can just walk a few blocks every weekend and pick what you want from a large variety of stands. It’s harder to eat locally grown meat, because there are fewer vendors … Continue reading
Market Downturn
I still have so many uncooked veggies from last week’s extravaganza that I exerted remarkable self-control this week, buying only essentials (and a few extravagances). Caraway rye, some flowers for She Who Must Be Obeyed, chocolate banana bread, raspberries, cherry … Continue reading
Market Trends
Summer is halfway over, even though the weather has just caught up. At the market that means more variety, so much that I need two photos to show everything I bought today. Above, there’s brioche and ciabatta loaves, sweet cherries, … Continue reading
Market correction
I‘m running out of titles that use the word “market.” Fewer stands – and customers – today due to the holiday weekend, but there were still good things to be had. Ground beef for burgers, first cucumbers of the season, … Continue reading

What Are We Buying?

To Market, To Market
The Union Square Farmer’s Market opened for the season today. My summer Saturday ritual now begins: Up at 8, quick breakfast, walk down the hill to the market, and buy vegetables, fruit, and meat with an eye toward the week’s … Continue reading
Borough Market
Our friend Gretchen, who has lived in London for 13 years, took us along for her weekend shopping trip to Borough Market, literally under London Bridge. I feel quite lucky to live near the Union Square Farmer’s Market. It’s open … Continue reading
