It rained today, but Argus and I braved the rain with Mom and Dad to hit the Exeter Farmer’s Market to get the first fruits (well, okay, veggies) of the season. \u00a0I love farmer’s markets – it seems more expensive, but the food is so fresh, so local, and so good.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We came home with a bounty: fresh scallions and chives, fresh Swiss Chard (can you say frittata for breakfast? \u00a0Oh yes, you can), liver (for Argus, he loves it), fresh red lettuce, and some prepared food: Hungarian Potato and Pork Soup, and Stuffed Cabbages. \u00a0And a bottle of our favorite local wine. We also got plants – I’m going to do a giant herb pot, so I bought dill, pineapple sage, basil, rosemary, thyme and garlic chives. \u00a0Dad has already given me mountain mint and lemon balm, so that’s going in there too. \u00a0I think I have a big enough pot – if not, time to go to Lowe’s and get one!<\/p>\n

Part of my return to health is eating fresh, local food. \u00a0An herb pot of my own (so I stop stealing from my landlady) will help me with that. \u00a0And think of the waters I can make too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
