The Best Kind of Morning

I spent my morning wandering the Bryn Mawr farmer’s market, enjoying sweet samples of farm-fresh fruit, lingering over the honey stand and drooling over homemade cheeses and lively green bunches of veggies. It was such a pleasant experience, and got my brain working about what ingredients I already had, what I could make, and what I couldn’t wait to try. I took home way more produce than I have room for in the fridge, but hopefully a few pies and giant salads will help use up the bulk of it! Michigan will be almost cherry-less this year apparently, so I took full advantage of the early cherry harvest here and picked up a quart of bright red, slightly sour fruit that hopefully won’t be too much of a challenge to pit. Then there were tiny new strawberries, a couple jars of raw honey, and over a pound of garlic scapes that I just couldn’t resist. I feel so lucky to be in an area with such a great connection to so many different farms and local growers! Thanks to sweet Lia for such lovely company, too…always nicer to wander with a great conversationalist. Can’t wait to show you what I’m able to make out of my cornucopia of goodies (I welcome your suggestions!)…
