The Farmers Market

Due to time constraints on Saturday, my visit to the Farmers Market was brief, but still exciting. I've never been to one before, but I was glad for the chance to try it out. Not being able to talk much with anyone, I browsed a bit, trying to find something that would be good to eat, but wasn't too difficult, as I'm not much of a cook. So it ended up being some iceberg lettuce for a salad, because I figured I could pull that off without too much potential for failure. I checked out Food Network's website and found a simple enough Iceberg Lettuce with Russian Dressing recipe, one which I had all the ingredients for.

It was a good salad, especially for how simple it was. The ease of preparation was a pleasure too, so that might have enhanced the experience. Overall, I think the whole thing was fun and I wouldn't mind visiting the Farmers Market again. There isn't much to say, but I think the Farmers Market is an important part of the community and one that can really make a difference in the way food is sold. There need to be more things like this, to give an option on how and what people want to eat. For now, that is all. But this was a fun assignment.

  1. I think one of the great things about the farmers market, is that you can get fresh things and make so many simple dishes, that are really good, just because it is good quality food.
