Yesterday, my mom and I went to the Farmer's Market. We try to go to some type of market every week. It's my farm advocacy work. So for about $30 and the satisfaction of knowing that we are supporting local farmers...this is what we came home with...
I love having fresh flowers!! They are so beautiful, and given prices at the grocery store...they really are a steal at $4 a bunch.
The cucumbers were $2 for 3, all of those tomatoes were $4, the potatoes were $2 for about 4; the swiss chard was $2.50; the cushaw squash was $2; the canteloupe was $2 each and the black-eyed peas where $5 (and worth every penny!).
The best way to cook those black-eyed peas is with a piece of salt pork, some onion and 4 cups of chicken stock. Just brown the salt-pork in soup pan, add onions, peas and chicken stock. No need for any other seasoning...DO NOT ADD salt. Now simmer this mixture for about an hour to an hour and half until the peas turn brown. Serve over fresh homemade cornbread.
If you serve this friends or family...you may receive marriage proposals.
You have been warned...
