Bread, Wine, Salt

I have a new post up about one of my local farmers' markets at The DC Moms .  Do you shop at producer markets? At three o’clock in the afternoon, when the market opens, it’s a great place to get fresh produce, meats , cheeses, breads and other goodies. RPFM is a producer only market, so you can chat with the farmers about what they sell.  It’s also a good place for an afternoon pick-me-up: iced coffee from  Zekes , or fresh lemonade from Migue’s Donuts, or  ice cream from Simple Pleasures . I hand my kids a few dollars and make them order their own treats, after we’ve rehearsed the “please and thank-you.” They like to help pick out berries, corn,  greens , melons, and apples as they come into season.  If there’s something perfectly ripe they want to eat it right away . . .
