Ah Farmer's Markets. I know what you are thinking--artisan cheese, adorable Japanese baby eggplant and 17 varieties of field mushrooms. That's what I think of! Not this time.Today, we decided to wander down to the Pomona farmer's market today and found that it focuses soundly on the basics. Hand picked no-pesticide tomatoes that actually taste like tomatoes. (A rarity). Crunchy green onions and the greenest green beans I've since since my days on the farm. It was a nice way to spend my Saturday morning because it reminded me that there are still people in the world who care about real delicous vegetables grown in (gasp) dirt! Now don't call me a hypocrite when I blog about the amazing farmer's market and epicurean delights at the Ferry Building in San Francisco next month. Because sometimes a girl needs Japanese baby eggplant, caviar, handcrafted chocolates, tiny cakes and cookies and a steaming cup of French Press coffee with heavy cream. Can you blame me?

you are clearly rubbing it in. we don't have anything this interesting or exciting in the produce department, not at farmers markets, nor whole foods. we just don't.
