dupont market

One of my little pleasures in life is going to the farmers' market that's right by my house on Sunday mornings. I usually go alone, check out all the great food, do some good people watching (for ex. I found out today that DC WIC has special checks for farmers markets!), and get my fruits and vegetables for the week. I always end up bringing home something I've never eaten before (or at least in a long time). Today it's orange tomatoes. There's just on thing I haven not been able to do yet.... get the the market before the croissants sell out! That's my goal for next weekend.


Here are some photos (not taken by me):

The Market

Eggplant! Last weekend I made Kashk-e-Bademjoon (like baba ganoush)

I love these flowers.

Looks like the marketplace I went to in Rehn (sp?) when I visited you and Becca 7 years ago in France. I loved it. Open air markets are so refreshing.
How was your kashk-e-bademjun? I made it once and did a horrible job!

Rennes was where Becca studied. There must be a market in Athens no? I thought the kashk-e-bademjun was good but who am I to say?!

Yeah, you in Paris, her in Rennes. They had the most awesome huge fresh fruit/veggie/flower market there. We also got to eat samosas and they were delicious. I loved it, but I haven't found the Athens-one yet, but I've heard they've got one!
