I went to the farmers market this past Saturday and had a great time. I've been a few times before and have always enjoyed the atmosphere and the people (and people watching). Besides fruits and vegetables I was glad to see an array of other things such as cupcakes, honey, art, and other food carts. No other food says summer to me like strawberries, so I ended up buying a box of those for this assignment, as well as other produce to have for the week because it was all so fresh. I love baking and one of my favorite websites is www.tastespotting.com, its like a virtual visual cookbook with links to all sorts of food blogs. One of the first images I saw on the website was strawberry scones, and decided that would be a good way to use some of the berries i bought at the market. The recipe called for more flour than I had on hand so the dough was a bit sticky and hard to shape into scones but besides that the process was pretty simple. The scones turned out great, and made for a great sunday brunch with a cup of coffee. I had quite a few and took some to the neighbors, I'm sure they enjoyed them, I mean, what broke college student wouldn't like a surprise of warm strawberry scones? I used the rest of the strawberries later that night for desert. Strawberries dipped in sour cream dipped in brown sugar. It sounds awful, but it tastes pretty amazing.
