Every thursday, there is a bountiful, mouth-watering Farmer's Market in Brookline, which is about a ten minute bike ride from home. It opens at 1:30 and doesn't close until dusk. It is set up in a parking lot with a dozen white tents.
Every tent has its own exciting thing to fill your senses with colors, textures and smells.
Some of these things I had never seen before.
On the left is called Goose berries, which are
slightly hard and fuzzy. And on the right is red
and white currants. They enchanted me because
they are completely transparent and jewel-like,
the way you can see right into their small, vibrant
worlds of flavor and life!
And this is the bounty I brought home to enjoy!
Eating fresh and eating healthy is a fun adventure!

YUM! I may be visiting our new farmers market soon! ;)
I need to call you to finish up our convo- last week was crazy busy so sorry I haven't got back to you.
Love you!
Yes, I've been thinking about that too! Call me whenever you get a chance this week...maybe I can get some blogging instruction while we're at it :o)
I wonder if that's the market John and I walked through when we were in Boston last year. Anyway, the colors in your photos look delicious, as well as the bounty you brought home. Love you! xoxo
I'm sure it's not, Christine. We live in Allston, which is about 6 miles directly west of downtown (just like the distance from Hyde Park to downtown Chicago.) I'm sure you went to the market by Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market right down town on the bay, which is a cooler market for sure, with lots of fresh fish. I love that you have been here before! miss you!
