I had to hit a different farmers market this week, because a Thursday appointment kept me from the Nyack one.
The Pea: A Vegetable in Nature’s Perfect Package
We had the most amazing peas on Tuesday for dinner. And even though they came to the house in June 8 Farmers Market Loot, they were still divine 12 days later. After all, they’re kept in nature’s perfect package.

What’s a Party Without Hats?
Before last Friday, I’d never realized how important hats are to the making of a good party. But think about it. Why do three-year-olds wear those pointy “Happy Birthday” hats? And how many weddings have you been to where the bride wore a tiara. Plus, I have two words for you: Kentucky Derby. (Actually that should be four words, because I’d like to include, for the same event: Mint Juleps.) What would any of those be without hats?

GaGa and The Meaning of Art
Industrial space designated for artists is getting rare these days, but in Garnerville, up the slope of the right bank of the Hudson, there’s a pre-Civil War textiles factory that — thanks to some forward-thinking entreprenuers — has been converted into the Garnerville Arts & Industrial Center. Each year, the artists hold an open house called the GaGa Festival (GArnerville GAllery) and the public can wander through their studios — and the complex.
Farmers Market Loot, June 8
The take-home on June 8.
Last week’s loot generated such a lively discussion, I thought I’d make the farmers market photo a regular feature. I’ll show you what we bought each week, and I’ll include the cost. We can talk about what’s in season when throughout the summer, and readers can give us suggestions on recipes to use over the weekend.
June 8 total: $63.25.
