21 : farmer's market


Roaming around the Torrance Farmer's Market this morning made for a very happy and great start to the weekend. We hit the french bakery booth first to grab a couple of ham & cheese croissants to stroll around the market with.

It's a little overwhelming at first, there are so many fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers, pastries, cheeses, olives, etc... Not to mention all the other food being made if you actually want to eat a hot meal there.

Like Costco, there is definitely no shortage of samples at this place. Just about every vendor offers up samples of their goods. The guys at the Mediterranean booth, were sample crazy, giving one sample after the other even before you could finish eating the first! With a sample in each hand, Jen had to resist and say "no" because she didn't have any way to hold them all. Madness. I'm not one to say "no" to a sample... but if we hadn't we would probably still be there and in a massive food coma.

Jen picked up some yummy herb feta cheese and oranges...What did I opt for? Out of all the fruits and veggies, I walked away with chocolate & glazed pecans. Surprised? Jen wasn't, she just laughed.
