The Market

Saturday morning, we went to a local farmer's market near Portland State University. It was much bigger than we expected and had a great selection of fruits, veggies, fish, cheese, flowers, etc. It even had live music. The best part is that you get to try everything before you buy (read: free breakfast).

Amongst the tents were a few food carts. This one is particular has got to be the smallest restaurant in the world.

Em is showing off our best value purchase....giant leek for only $1. With these, we made a chinese fish and leek dish that Em's mom taught us.

We also scored some amazing Asian pears and some homemade sauces and jams. Some of the items were a bit pricey, but the money goes directly to the farmers so ya gotta support local!! Kudos to the farmers who provided their produce in 100% biodegradable "plastic" bags. Wow, we are slowly becoming hippies. "....when in Rome"

Below, Em is showing off the bouquet I got her at the market. :)
