There ...Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend! :)<br />There is a local produce market here once a month, so we have to use other means during the rest of the time. I have to say, I do like the whole fresh local thing (hello Farm Fresh Strawberries!!!), and right now there is a Lebanese zucchini growing in my garden (hopefully a whole lot more in the next couple of weeks!)

I am a great believer in eating what is locally produced and what is in season. (My family will say it is my pet hobby horse).

It was the best first job you could have, dealing with all the customers and fresh food. Also, this was a good 20 years ago now, so all very old fashioned - customers would give me their orders 'a kilo of apples, a kilo of potatoes, a bunch of bananas' etc, andShelleyhttp://myshoeboxlife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161774480140198164.post-65012836675375291012011-04-17T20:54:03.378+10:002011-04-17T20:54:03.378+10:00It all looks yum, and so nice that you could "...It all looks yum, and so nice that you could "forage" together.
