Day 147 LocalrootZ Project (May 29, 2010)

Breakfast

Plain Swallowtail Yogurt

w/ honey

After a small breakfast and a morning session organizing my paintings studio, I hopped onto my bicycle and took a circle around the peninsula with the final destination being the Farmers Market @ Deering Oaks !  I was so happy to see it bubbling with customers even at 7:30am.... so much good stuff, heres what I got this week !

You can haul alot on a Surly Touring Bicycle...

the full bounty out from the panniers

Merrimac inspecting the goods...she loves greens !

Let see scallions & spinach from fishbowl, cukes and tomatoes from Olivia Garden, Yogurt from Swallowtail,  Japenese Turnips, Spicy Radishes & Broccoili Rab
 from Green Spark, Rhubarb from Alewife, Kohlrabi from Fishbowl, Baby Broccoli Rab from Dandelion Spring and a few other odds and ends I cant seem to recall as of now but jeez so many wonderful greens... its gonna be a healthy week for us !

We be well stocked...

Lunch
Asparagus Omelete
w/ Raw Swiss Cheese
Fingerling Homefries
Spelt  Toast

Dessert
Blubarb Crisp
w/ Honey Ice Cream

Yup thats right Blubarb crisp !  A nice combination of rhubarb and frozen blueberries creates a lusciously tangy and scrumptious late night treat.  I spent a good 10 hours in the painting studio and am looking forward to showcasing a few of my new pieces at the Local Sprouts Cafe grand opening this Friday ! 

We were actually so busy today that we spaced pictures of the omelet... oh well sometimes things just are not meant to be !

That is me striking a pose... not very good about including pictures of myself but have been trying to force myself to take pics here and there to show how that extra winter weight is slowly melting away...
