"the big salad"

this is the lettuce that we have left from the tour de farm last weekend! reminds me of that episode of seinfeld where george's girlfriend takes credit for "the big salad" that george bought elaine. 

farmers market

a few weekends ago we visited the dekalb farmers market in georgia. this place is absolutely fantastic. we left with some rosemary focaccia, fresh chocolate chip cookies, gnocchi, pumpkins & several different kinds of beer & wine. I wish we had a place like this close to home. I think I'd be a much better cook if I was constantly inspired by all this beautiful food.
