This was the loot I picked up at the Lower Makefield Farmer's Market today - all for $35. Eating healthy, fresh and local is not only tasty, but often reasonably priced too! Included in today's "take:" Raspberries, blackberries, peaches, a mix of summer squash, and dark green hierloom, yellow and red cherry tomatoes from Shady Brook Farm; cucumbers, red and gold beets and a watermelon from Charlann Farms; red and green leaf lettuce, garlic, onions (one red, one yellow, one white), and tomatoes (one yellow, one red) from Promised Land Natural Farm, and an assortment of fresh rolls from The Village Bakery.
I will bring some of this to our friends' house on Saturday for our "Dinner Unknown" - stay tuned for more on that - I will blog about it on Sunday!
For tonight, I combined some of the watermelon and cucumber to make a refreshing salad, adding a little lime juice, some feta cheese, a few shakes of Jane's Crazy salt and some fresh basil leaves from last week's market trip:

    So much of our history can be learned through food!
    My second book, The Thousand Dollar Dinner, follows the unique story of a luxurious 17-course feast that helped launch the era of grand banquets in nineteenth century America. I am also the author of Mrs Goodfellow: The Story of America's First Cooking School.
