Farmer's Market

It's been too long San Juan farmer's market...too long.
After dropping off three black trash bags full of my unwanted clothing/books to Salvation Army, my mother and I ventured to San Juan to get our hands on the artisan crafted this, and the freshly-picked that. The scent of strawberries and sweet kettle corn lingered in the air and people perused up and down the stretch of tents. Freshest flowers, fruit, veggies, and bread you've ever let your senses molest. We got this and that from the veggie tents as well as a basket of those red juicy strawberries, but I was most eager to get to the hummus tent. (Woah, I think those are two of the most beautiful words ever written: hummus. tent.) Ice displays full of every kind of hummus you could ever want. Flavors and flavors- the only kind I tried and didn't like was the "vegan curry"- a little disappointed by that, but nonetheless we got hung up on the 3 for $12 deal and purchase Kalmative Olive, Garlic herb, and artichoke hummus with a pack of freshly baked pita chips. Are you drooling yet?
The tent over had freshly baked goods and the woman immediately told us that "everything was baked late last night or this morning" HAZAH! I picked up a loaf of cinnamon raisin bread which I'm sure will be gone by the end of tomorrow. You know it's good when you can smell it through the bag. Our haul was grand and we ended up with a bunch of fresh natural food- the kind I love. Avocados, mini cucumbers, strawberries, hummus, and broccoli now inhabit the fridge and modestly brag about how fresh they are to the packaged food. I love it all.
Stay fresh.
