We’re making a new family tradition of going to the Farmer’s Market every Saturday. It’s been almost a month now, and we’ve been getting all our produce + bread and nuts. The kids love it too, especially since there’s a Rasta musician there that lets kids play his instruments. It’s amazing how much better the food tastes when it’s fresh and in season.
So we just got the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market cookbook (even though that’s not our local market—it’s adaptable). This week we’re making mixed mushroom polenta and herb crusted sole with green garlic. I’ve never seen green garlic before, it looks like a skinnier version of leeks. We’ve also got some homemade chicken stock on the pipeline. The riot of bright colors and greens, as well as the promise of warm, rich food is knocking me out of the winter doldrums.
