My new favorite lunch
The whole hee-haw family went to Harry's Farmers Market to lunch on their samples today. We ate some really good stuff - fruits, fancy breads & cheeses, chips & salsa, nut butters (cashew & peanut) (my favorite), several spreads and several desserts. All that was missing was adequate beverages! Next time we'll be sure to bring along some waters or check out the market for bubbler opportunities.
Best lunch at the price we've ever had. Highly recommended. As the lunch progresses, you develop a real eye for open packages set up for sampling. It also made for great people watching. My favorite was the grim-faced soccer mom pounding freshly-gound peanut butter into the little container, determined that no air bubbles spoil her family's supply of organic peanut butter. I adapted a quote from "Young Frankenstein:" "This lady means business." Sadly, I missed the Emmentaler, which Tasha told me about as we were driving off. I nearly turned back.
In order to prevent the kids from spilling the beans too violently, we pretended we were spies, and our mission was to have lunch in secret.
Nevertheless, we met a couple who was also there solely to lunch on samples. I do not know what rival superpower they were agents of, or how many other agents were present. I can report that elbows were flying at one spreads & salsa table, however.
