Local Farmer's Market Season is Coming

The season of fresh fruits and produce from local farmer's market is just about here.  It is great to be able to sample foods all during the year from faraway places, however, there is nothing like takting  foods that were grown in the morning and on your table in the evening or afternoon.

Every time I go, the sights and smells of fragrant fruits and brightly colored vegetables: green, purple, yellow and red; always make me want to cook something.  The rich array of farmers and their wares make for an exciting trip to the various markets in our area.  Just deciding what to buy and prepare is an adventure.

In fact, I have to keep myself from buying too much, although it does not seem to have prevented me from finding something good to cook even if I overindulge in my purchases.  Nothing is wasted.

It is also the time when local bakers and home pastry chefs bring out their best offerings.  I have sampled some fabulous pot pies, fresh apple tarts and bread puddings.  Yes, farmer's market season is one to look forward to.  If you are like me, you can hardly wait.  And, if you live in Maryland, like me, the offerings are limitless.
