Totally Fresh!!!

As part of our New Year's Resolution to shop local, I have been dying to get my act together to start doing my product shopping at the Public Market that is held every Saturday morning in downtown Phoenix.  So... This past Saturday Maryanne and I loaded up our blue Goodwill basket (new use, makes a great shopping basket for the market...even Maryanne can pull it around) and headed to the market...  It was hot (get over it people...) but for the wonders of the fresh produce that no kidding was harvested the day before, I will brave the sweaty morning. 

These are the carrots that we bought (Michael thought that there was something wrong with the purple ones) and let me just tell you, they taste like CARROTS.  Sweet and loverly.  It reminds me of my Culinary Basics Instructor who would talk about how his tomatoes that he grew himself tasted like "TOMATO".  As he would yell the word across the room and we would all look around like this guy was a little too excited about fresh produce... BUT here I am...  Anyways, the tomatoes were super good, the peaches that Maryanne picked out OMG!!!  Seriously, take the time to go find out what fresh really tastes like and you will never want the picked before it was ripe, flown in from another country (oh yes, Strawberries in December.. not grown here) product that you generally find in the supermarket...  The farmers market is YUMMM. 
So off the soup box...  I will be at Art Unraveled this weekend and the site should be up in just a short time...  Just working out a few bugs and we are up and running.  For all of you "crafters" check out the Church (of Craft)  blog for info about a new contest coming up, just for you.
