Farmer's Markets

I don't know if you all have hit the Farmer's Markets yet, but in spite of the tornados and floods and every other calamity that has been hitting agriculture in the United States, the produce right now is absolutely fabulous.

My father, not particularly useful in the kitchen, once taught be something very important:

After shopping, cut up your fruits and vegetables immediately once you are home. That way you are more likely to munch on the healthy food while it is still fresh.

Yesterday, I cut the watermelon, peaches and canteloupe and pitted an entire bag of cherries. My fingernails still appear bloody. But the fruit is great. Go get some!
