Veg Out

Now that graduation & birthday season is over in my family, and I am back to eating normal food after extraction of 4 wisdom teeth, it's time I start visiting the farmers' markets for some super fresh produce!  Yum!

After working (and of course living) in Columbia nearly 5 years, my office moved to Rockville 2 months ago.  Last summer I had this nice little routine going on Thursdays where I would leave the office and hit the East Columbia Library farmers' market on my way home.  Now that I'm more or less used to the Columbia/Rockville commute, I need to strategize my produce plan.

Leaving Rockville at 3:30 (the end of my work day) gives me plenty of time to hit any market I want...now, which to choose.  I go right past the East Columbia Library still...but I'm feeling wild and may try something new.  The Maryland Department of Agriculture has a decent listing for Howard County, though you never know until you go.

Any favorites out there?

(I've been dying to try a CSA program, but I've dropped the ball 3 years running.)

Produce-related, check out this handy-dandy banana holder my best friend gave me!  Hey, why not, right?










Also, unrelated except that they use veggies, I terribly miss Bon Fresco for the occasional lunchtime sammich.
