At the Logan Square farmers market this week we got some amazing raspberries, blueberries, and peaches from Lyons Fruit Farm (MI) and some cherry tomatoes from Piedt Farms (MI). I mean, seriously, you don’t realize how bland the supermarket stuff is til you eat the fruit and vegetables from the farmers market. The peaches were perfectly ripe and so sweet and juicy. Makai ate one right there. I think it was his first peach and now he’s been eating one every night for dessert after dinner. I also got a rosemary sea salt caramel from Katherine Anne Confections (Chicago), some cheese curds from Ludwig Farmstead Creamery (Fithian, IL), and some spicy stir fry tofu from Phoenix Bean (Chicago).
Dallas stayed home to meet with a mason contractor (long story) so I brought home lunch. We had pierogi from Pierogi Street, some Indian bao from Bombay Breakdown and a Filipino empanada from Pecking Order.
It had been several weeks since we visited the market, so it was good to be back. This is how Makai likes to eat his raspberries, as he was doing on the stroller ride home:
