Greenmarket

[redbird]

The other cool thing yesterday was that we got to the new Greenmarket [local farmer's market] in the neighborhood in good time yesterday morning. We had sweet corn (three ears each) for lunch yesterday. A blackberry pie. Ginger apple cider--we got that from a farmer who's been bringing plain apple, and apple raspberry, to Union Square for years, and commented that she likes Inwood, and liked seeing people she recognized from Union Square. I was surprised, given the amount of business they do, and thus the number of people they must see there, to be recognized. Two pounds of really ripe cherries--I just had some with my morning yogurt. Yum. And some organic yogurt, to try, because it was cheaper than the Dannon at the supermarket (quarts of plain whole milk yogurt, in each case).

We also tasted some meatloaf from an organic meat vendor, and may buy from them next week--but with a dodgy refrigerator and plans to go out that night, we weren't buying meat yesterday. And so many other things--lettuces, green beans, berries....
