Farmers' Market Today



Jim's corn, Dan's cucumbers that are the best I've had this year.  Jazz's Onion Marmalade - oh my!  This, like Dan's Zucchini Relish, both get my perfection-in-a-jar rating.




Steve (Katie and Ben's) radicchio is the most beautiful I've ever seen.  In the grocery stores it resembles a small head of red cabbage.  I was told long ago that this odd vegetable was a cross between a radish and cabbage.  That apparently was just someone's logic - Wikipedia says it's leaf chicory often called Italian Chicory, which explains the bitterness.  It can be used in a lettuce mix for salads as well as cooked or grilled....Ahhhh Farmers' Markets are one of the best things of summer!
