It’s Wednesday today, and that means one thing– farmer’s market day!
Today I decided to go for anything at the market that provides an illusion of some sort. I was feeling mischievous, what can I say?
First, I stopped by Samascott Orchards to pick up some apples. I got those scarlett rose apples that Uberchef got last week. I have not tried one yet, but as I said, I’m all about the trickery today.
I’m going to be doing some cooking this weekend at a family event, so I picked up some bok choi at Lani’s Farm, which was formerly Yuno’s Farm. They have pretty good bok, although some of their items are a little overpriced. I also got some romanesco cauliflower, which was just too trippy and weird-looking to pass up.
Not sure what I’m going to do with them, but it’ll be tasty. I also picked up some watermelon radish, just because they look cool on the inside. Check it out. These things are absolutely radiant inside.
Then I stopped at Maxwell’s farm to pick up those sun-gold’s I’ve been raving about. They have been getting a bit iffy, so I bought a mix of baby tomatoes. I think it might be some of the season’s last. I also got some chives, because I plan on making some pork dumplings this weekend (and you know this will be documented).
Ronnybrook, where were you?? You weren’t at the party today. Come back. I love you.
After the market, UC and I walked back to Onya for a little udon action. Right at the front the udon dude was pulling the noodles out of the machine and dusting them with flour.
Went with the sanuki again, which looks the best of everything I’ve seen there. I got some chicken and mixed vegetable tempura, both of which we pretty solid.
Perfect lunch.
