My Chicago Vegetable Market

One thing I love about summer in Chicago are our vegetable markets. Farmers from Michigan drive up early on Saturday’s and set up their produce.

Every year there seem to be new additions, small farms selling beef or dairies selling cheeses. There’s even a truck that pulls up and sells bulk spices.

Herbs are terrific, plentiful, and so much better than the small plastic boxed ones from the grocery. Except for the basil, which is very good but sells out quickly in the early weeks. In the five or so weeks they have been open this summer, this week was the first time I was able to get basil. I just don’t get up early enough. This week the basil I bought was so gorgeous I put it in a vase in the kitchen. When it started to wilt, I just could bring myself to bag it, and put the whole vase in the refrigerator. I know odors in the refrigerator are not good, but when I open the door, the basil smells great. I don’t think I’ll mind if the fruit I eat this week tastes a little basil-ish. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with the basil – it was a true impulse purchase.

I also bought cherries this week. They were very delicious and I ate them all, just out of the bag.

And flowers. I like to buy flowers for our bathrooms and our living room. This week I bought lavender for my bathroom. I know its not a flower, but it smelled good. And this was also the first week for gladiolas. Dean loves glads and he will request them every single week as long as they are available. This week our choice was red and yellow and they are coming into bloom right now, in my living room.
