Public Market, February 2

Yes, this post is way overdue! I went to the market on Feb. 2 and bought produce to last until I knew I'd go back to the Feb. 7 market with Hun. And I haven't been back to the market since!

Pea shoots from One Windmill Farm

One Windmill Farm's blossoming pea shoots

I wanted to go yesterday, but I was very busy building a wedding cake (coming soon to a post near you) for two of my amazingest friends. Of course I missed going, especially because Cindy, the market's chief, was giving a tour of the building that would soon house the permanent, 7-day-a-week market, adjacent to the market lot. Rats! No matter--I'll make my way into that building eventually! And even awesomer news--the Downtown Phoenix Public Market celebrates it's third anniversary this Saturday! And that I wouldn't miss for the world! Happy Almost Birthday, Public Market!!!

Addendum: Whoops, forgot some photos!

Yummy lentil curry from Saptan's Chill Out Cafe

Feb. 2 haul: Mexican wedding cookies from Bread Basket Bakery; broccoli, acorn squash, onions, radishes, and pea shoots from One Windmill Farm; extra virgin olive oil from Queen Creek Olive Mill; a cellophane bag of crispy, chocolatey, nutty yummy squares, a caramel tart, and a box of truffles from 602 chocolates; and two truffles from La Belle Fleur (many, many chocolate treats for my Hun's Valentine's Day basket)
