A Farmer's Market Saturday

Friend Kelly

Market Manager of the Nevada/Vernon County Farmer's Market

Invited me to visit their market as a 

Guest Chef

Saturday I was up really early

to load the car

and travel 20 miles East

to the little town in Missouri

where we lived for 17 years

I set up my "station"

For it was a cooking with herbs day

And for tasting . . .

Homemade Bread

Cut into sampling fingers

So that herbal butter

(we tasted first chive, then thyme and lastly tarragon)

and peach rosemary jam

could be slathered on

And I always like to have an herbal sweet

Lemon lavender cakes

And a big jar of garden herbs

Snippets were used in the pasta salad

which we also tasted.

Vegetables, pasta, oil and vinegar and a generous amount of minced herbs.

I always enjoy my stints at the Farmer's Market and this was my first time in Nevada

I hope they invite me back for I had a great time.

And they have a great market.

Thanks, Kelly!

I ended up bringing home . . .

local raspberries and strawberries

2 butterfly bushes

And some Gobbler Roost Salad Dressing

(which I don't normally buy -- salad dressing, that is -- but Kathy's is superb!)

It's Monday and I'm sharing my Farmer's Market food with Yvonne at Stone Gable for What's On the Menu Monday
