Saturday we went to the Winter Park (FL) Farmer’s Market. Early in the morning the market area was teaming with people and vendors. We wanted to get there early since it was supposed to be a very hot day – and Mother Nature didn’t lie. By 9:30 AM it was really getting steamy. I had my camera and camera/backpack on and it got uncomfortable fast. The older I get – the less I can stand the heat – it really bothers me.
OK, if you’re anything like Donna and I, we start eating with our eyes. The market had so many beautiful veggies, flowers, cheeses, plants, shrubs, herbs, breads – you name it. Here are a few shots from the market.
We bought peppers, tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, radishes, lemons, and red potatoes. So far I’ve used the lemons, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, green beans and potatoes. I’ll have a few dishes to post soon.

now you know one of the big reasons peter and i left florida…the heat was just too unbearable for too long. stifling!
you’d really like the weather here in SF…mostly mild most of the time. with a breeze. but it’ll cost you… 🙂
Yes, now I understand. If I could, I’d be one of the boomers who winter in FL and summer in Cape Cod or at a crystal lake in Maine – but it ain’t in the cards girl.
Great blog, Mr. K!
I am an old high school friend of Mark’s who has forever left the heat and humidity of Central Florida for the heat and humidity of Upstate South Carolina!
Mark told me to check out your cooking blog, and I’m glad I did! I also love to cook, and also have my own blog (www.writingasieat.com). I will be checking back regularly to see what you’ve got cooking!
Best,
Shannon Kohn
