Farmer's Market Work Out

Filed in archive From Garden to Table , Shopping on June 17, 2008

Who needs a gym? All you really need is to visit a Farmer's Market once or twice a week to get a great work out.

All the walking, bending, lifting and carrying home a heavy, produce laden market basket that weighs about 30 pounds is enough exercise for just about anyone!

This morning's colorful (and very heavy) market bounty:

2 kilos ripe tomatoes, some onions, a basil plant and a couple of stalks of celery to make Cold Tomato Soup with Basil
2 kilos new potatoes
leeks
2 green peppers, 2 red peppers and some onions to make Poulet Basquaise
zucchini
parsley
1 cucumber
ripe peaches
a baguette
a pain au raisin and une chocolatine

My arms are sore!
