A lot.

On Friday, just before the hail rolled in, Shawn and I stopped very small farmer's market that's on the way home from her work. It's on Lexington Avenue and Summit, in the parking lot of that big church there (St. Thomas Moore?). At any rate, there was one Hmong farmer there selling veggies, so we picked up two bundles of rhubarb, some green onions, and asparagus. The rest of the sellers had specialty items like honeys and jams. One lady sold meats and eggs. The majority were flowers. I guess it was really more of a flower market than a farmer's market which reminds me of Italy, but the point is, we got rhubarb!!

On Sunday, Shawn and I made a small batch of strawberry-rhubarb jam and a super-duper delicious strawberry-rhubarb pie (she did the filling, I made the crust):

Here's some action shots of the jam making:

More later! I have to run and pick up the little guy from school!

It may be more of a veggie market as the summer progresses. If they are selling local produce, it's still early for much besides rhubarb and peas and asparagus since our spring was so late this year.

The pie is pretty, nice looking crust.

Our farmers market is in transition still and a few stalls carry the bagged veggies that can be bought at the grocery stores. It is necessary to get to know the real farmers from the ppl trying to earn a profit off resell. I was fooled on tomatoes the last trip and I'm still not amused. Getting out at 6-7am to get what is supposed to the best selection of the day does not always work out as planned.
