The Farmer's Market


I went to the Farmer's market today with my hubby and a good friend. It was the first market of the season. We arrived shortly after the opening and the park was packed. It was beautiful.

The vegetables, the (small amounts) of fruit, the craft vendors, the homemade food, and the people were all great. The market was filled with wonderful smells. I began to realize something. Even if I have to live without wheat or gluten, I don't have to feel deprived. Many of the foods that I adore contain no gluten.

Carrots don't have gluten. Neither does onions, bell peppers, lettuce, or milk. The first cherries of the season- that I paid an arm for- don't contain gluten. They were surrounded by much anticipation, but they don't contain gluten!

The hubs and I decided to join a milk delivery service from Winder. We ordered milk (in glass bottles), half and half, and even groceries. With the grocery delivery, the farmer's market, and all the stuff I hope grows in my garden, I should be perfectly fine without wheat.

My booty from the market? Brilliant!

  • Cherries (Even if they did cost the earth, it was worth it to have my first cherries of the season).
  • Onions from my favorite root guys
  • Sugar Snap Peas
  • Green Leaf Lettuce
  • And the Winder Dairy stuff, which will be delivered next Monday.

What's in my fridge?
  • Broccoli
  • Cauliflower
  • Iceberg Lettuce
  • Eggs
  • and lots of condiments

Brilliance and cherries

I was inspired today to stop and review, to thank the powers that be for everything. To say thank you for everything in my life, in my work, in my world, everything. And yet to say this seems so insignificant. It seems like such a small gesture to send to the cosmos. However, I can't help but feel that I have done my part to send the positives rays onward and upward. I can only hope that my positives have helped someone's negatives. So cheers to you!

In addition to that, I can be doubly thankful. I have cherries! Deep, red, sweet, tangy, juicy, delicious cherries. In my mind, cherries are sunshine. So no recipe today, no deep thoughts on food and enjoyment. Just enjoy a bowl of cherries, after all... isn't that life?
