Eating local





Last weekend at the local farmers' market, along with the garlic scapes (in case you're wondering what they look like, they look like this) that went into this vegetable pie, H and I also picked up some locally grown sweet cherries. Drool-worthy and beautiful looking, but a bit tart and lacking in that mouth-filling, juice-dripping-down-your-chin, I-can't-stop-bathing-in-this-sweetness summer goodness I have come to associate with cherries back when I was still living in Tropic-land. I'm trying to work in more local produce into our meals, so I'll be on the lookout for some of that fabled Okanagan or Kootenay cherries in the next few weeeks. Keeping my fingers crossed!
