First of all, I LOVE going to the farmer’s market! If you can get your butt out of bed on a Sunday morning and walk over to some park far away from your house, you will get rewarded!!!

I went to my local farmer’s market for the first time the other day, and I was pretty scared at first, because I didn’t really know what to expect. It was really nice though, all these people were there with really really fresh food and they let you BARGAIN over what you were going to pay for it!!! That doesn’t happen at the supermarket lololol. So, I got some cheese and I got this really amazing rabbit and leek and mushroom pie which I’d never had before.  They just tasted soo incredible, I’ve never had food that tasted that fresh and incredible before. And the best thing about it is you get to see the same people over and over every time you go, so you feel like it’s a community thing.

OK, to be honest, I keep meaning to go back and then, come Sunday, I just roll over in bed and go back to sleep. But I definitely recommend the Farmer’s Market at LEAST one time for everyone!

And, I have been thinking about tofu and wanting to cook with tofu for a really long time now, but I want it to be easy. I found a recipe on about.com that I’m gonna try. It looks pretty easy and healthy, which is basically everything I look for in a recipe lololol. I’ll leave you with it. Love to you guys! Naimh.  ^-^)
