I blew my budget at the Oak Park Farmers Market this weekend.
Even though we have a CSA, we split it between two families, so on alternate weeks, I’m in particular need of veggies. And, plus, I just love going every week, hearing the bluegrass jam session, tasting the freshly made doughnuts, chatting with friends and seeing what’s in season.
I wasn’t sure if blueberries would be in, but to my son’s delight, there were tables full all around the market this week. Oh my, how sweet they taste. Not sure they’ll make it past the day.
I also nabbed some rainier cherries for snacking over the weekend, and picked up serranos and rosemary to plant
For next week’s camp lunches, I bought fresh broccoli (which I’ll probably blanch) and snow peas.
The budget breaker was the four pork chops from Wettstein Organic Farm. They were about $4 a piece, but I hear their meat is excellent, so I can’t wait to throw those babies on the grill.
For more about Wettstein, check out David Hammond’s Market Report piece in the Wednesday Journal.
Now to head outside to enjoy this beautiful day and to plant my veggies and herbs.

Yum. Thanks. Almost sneaked down to see if you were still making doughnuts this morning.
