They are my favorite too (I LOVE food!). Watch for this Thursday's Market to Table.

I am really coming to like my weekly visits. The sense of community is definitely on the upswing. I tell my friends, co-workers and relatives every chance I get.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862121314003712764.post-45686119289845797622009-02-09T11:21:00.000-06:002009-02-09T11:21:00.000-06:00Tammy - I'm looking forward to hearing how everyon...Tammy - I'm looking forward to hearing how everyone likes Lois' grass fed beef. What cuts did you get?<BR/><BR/>The market really is addictive. Everyone is as happy to see us and we are to see them.

Now, it is funny but the market vendors are happy to see me because they know that I am there for them every week(as well as their goods). I was way happy to see salsa(some of it made w/Tonya's tomatoes--new this past market) and coffee. I buy so many things but the past two weeks it has been speed shopping because my work has been crazy lately too.<BR/>I am buying some grassfed beef from Lois because it seems like a good thing to do.<BR/>Strawberries are probably starting in Plantersville now, so it will be field trip time soon. <BR/>My sister's wedding was sweet, I called it a romantic comedy. It was less stiff and more fun than most weddings I have seen. It was pretty expensive, per guest, so it was mainly family with a few very close friends.<BR/>Her due date is June 14th, I believe and the preacher who married them wants to come and bless the baby when he is born, it seems like a good thing, so it's all pretty cool. Perhaps we could visit in the hospital when she has him if you would like, or are available to come...just a thought. I know she wants me there to help her with the birth, but later on I know she will want to show off her new family member. Anyway, let me know.<BR/>As always, it was good to see you at the market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862121314003712764.post-6959590223955149282009-02-05T10:43:00.000-06:002009-02-05T10:43:00.000-06:00Darren - Maybe.

Yes, Dave definitely is a meat eater and we do have some fabulous sources of local meat in our area, some of which I have bought for him from time to time. I also get cheese for him from our local dairy. <BR/><BR/>But my husband usually gets his "big" meal of the day when he lunches with co-workers so when he's at home for both breakfast and dinner, he tends to eat pretty lightly - cereal, toast and eggs, sandwiches and veggies. The bread I make from scratch myself, same for the jams and jellies. The eggs we get from the farmers market. The veggies I steam for his veggie medley I also get from the farmers market. The cheese often comes from the dairy. I guess the only thing that isn't local is his lunchmeat.<BR/><BR/>So, he does eat many local foods because I do most of my shopping at the farmers market, but he's not on an exclusively local diet like I am. I felt like he has to make that decision for himself.<BR/><BR/>Does that answer your question. If not, feel free to comment again or send an email my way.hmdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13424022504830645523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862121314003712764.post-30570060959678065702009-02-05T09:15:00.000-06:002009-02-05T09:15:00.000-06:00Your food does look good, but Im curious: does you...Your food does look good, but Im curious: does your husband also eat these lovely veggie dishes?
