Uncharted Territory part 2 "The Farmer Market"

Hello again fellow foodies and food lovers.  I am back from the farmers market and could have stayed there for hours on end, it is a beautiful thing fresh local food.  Before i get into what i found and all the fun colors, smells and textures i came across i would like to share with you some pictures i took while at the farmers market.......



Beautiful huh?? That is what i love about the farmers market the food seems to shine in a way you never see in the stores.  All your scenes are taken on this adventure where you see colors so vibrant and bight.  Colors that you were unsure a VEGGIE could ever be.  The smell there is nothing like it and no words to really describe it.  All i can say is there is this freshness in the air coming from all direction and angels, and as your walking through you hit stops where a warm savory smell from one of the local food vendors blends in with the fresh crisp light smell of beautiful goodness all around.  When that happens you just have to stop a find a little treat for your self sweet or savory.  My treat today was a "MAPLE BACON DOUGHNUT"  and let me tell you something about this doughnut it was like nothing i had ever had before.  This doughnut has like magic powers, that in stead of making you feel guilty when eating it you feel happy and almost a little proud for eating this doughnut.  In my entire life i have never eaten a doughnut and then said i was proud. This doughnut though was make with the freshest most local ingredients not to mention a ton of love that it was no longer bad to eat it.  So after you treat yourself your ready to get back to why you were there in the first place.  Mr chicken popped back into my head. That is when i got the idea in my head that i wanted to do a meat and potatoes kinda meal, in a lighter healthier kind of way.  That is when i walked by this veggie stand that stood out from all the others. Why you ask?   I saw the most beautiful purple little baby carrots still attached to their leafy green stems, i just had to have them so i picked a few bunches and off i went. I had my meat and my veg all i needed was my "potato" for this meat and potatoes meal.  And i remembered a few stands back theses little fingerling potatoes and thought with some fresh rosemary and a nice drizzle of olive oil S&P i had a meal.  Inspiration done now all i have to do is execute the meal that looks and smells so good and tasty in my mind.  So fellow foodies that's all to come in the last part of today's adventure stay tuned.
