I call it Saturday...

A weekly blog about the fresh, local food each Saturday at the Union Square Farmer's Market in NYC and my subsequent moments of culinary triumph and failure.

Global Warming?

Saturday was a very disconcerting shop. You see, when it's 71 degrees, but the vendors are only carrying root vegetables and a couple of apples, it's really very odd.

The Shop

eggs Quattros
kale Hawthorne Farms
bosc pears, empire apples Terhune Orchards
3.5 oz sheep camembert 3-Corner Sheep Farm
apple danish the place that mills their own flour
onions, yukon gold potatoes

The shop was all well good and fine with but one comment: the kale must have been made of freakin' gold! It was ridiculous! $6 for 3 tiny heads. It was simple shock that kept me from saying...uh, thanks, but no.

The post-shop breakfast was sublime however: apple danish, the camembert (incredibly smooth and sweet) and bosc pear slices. It was a beautifully balanced beginning to the day.
