OK, I went to the Silver Spring Farmer's Market this morning and admittedly spent way too much money. (I fully expect Michelle Singletary to come out from behind a display of goat cheese and start chastising me, "It's not what you earn, but how you spend it...etc"). But I figure this is local produce, mostly organic, and therefore an investment in good eating and good health. Some of my favorite booths are Spring Valley Farm and Orchard for leafy greens, fruit and posies; Atwater’s Bakery for all things tempting and carbo; Groff’s Content Farm for eggs and “ethical meat;” and finally Charlie Koiner’s Farm for bunches of fresh herbs (each a dollar!)
Tonight for dinner, Dave and I will have a lovely omelet made with free range eggs; some sour dough bread; mesclun salad with a walnut vinaigrette and a slice of apple tart for dessert. Then we'll sit quietly and admire the bouquet of lilacs on the dinner table.
