Oh dear. I stayed up too late on Saturday night to make it to my neighborhood farmer’s market on Sunday morning. So I made my very first trip to the Green City Market in Lincoln Park today (Wednesday). Reader, I am in trouble. It’s a much bigger market than my lil neighborhoodie one. People sit around on chairs, chatting and drinking what appeared to be free coffee. A couple of vendors sell cheese. There are lots and lots of pastries: both Bennison’s and Bleeding Heart were in the house. A chef was making crepes. The hot guys from Nichols Farms were there. And there’s a nice man from Mint Creek Farm selling lamb chops…and he takes Visa. So much for my $10 limit.
I came home with ears of sweet corn, a big bunch of basil, yellow heirloom tomatoes, the lamb chops, baby arugula, and some crazy looking baby eggplants. And I’m not telling how much I spent.
