farmer's market







This morning we went to Findlay Market in downtown Cincinnati. Good cheap produce here -- both from local farmers and wholesalers practically giving away slightly-too-ripe bananas and such. Nice to know we aren't the only foodies around. Here's a picture of lunch afterwards. It's been hovering around 95 degrees, so we've been making good use of Mark Bittman's "Summer Express" recipes in the NY Times. This is shrimp sauteed with cumin, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Kinda smokey tasting because of the cumin -- delicious.

oh boy. oh-ho boy. yes. not as outlandish as i expected (no offal or bizarre fruit), but really exquisite. things i'd never tried before: oysters, snails, and rabbit.
