Farmers Market

When I went to the farmers market, I was only able to stop by for a moment, so I wasn't able to chat with the farmers, but I did get a good impression of the place. I ended up buying some lettuce and spent a few minutes walking around I love the vibe that the whole market gives off as you walk along the isles. The live music gives a great touch, as well. The whole scene just felt like a mini-community within a community, but not in an exclusivist way. I've been to the market a few times before, but I haven't been there for over a year, so it was nice to see it again.

I chose to make a recipe that I found for Lemony Caesar salad from allrecipes.com. It was quite good, as I am a big fan of both caesar salads and lemons. I don't usually make food from recipes (unless you count the instructions on the side of a box a recipe), so it was a nice change of pace. Considering that my cooking skills are very limited and the fact that this was a very simple recipe, it turned out well, and tasted even better than I had hoped.
