Opening Day at Kennedy Plaza Farmers Market 2010

A perfect day on Kennedy Plaza.  

Welcome back farmers, vendors and shoppers!

Millport Dairy's eggs are free range and adorable!

Carucci's flowers are gorgeous and ready to be

put into your beds.

Dan Madura's shallots, red mustard greens, shallots 

and 

oh.... the asparagus.  

You haven't lived until you've

had some. The season isn't all that long... so get them.

Cut the bottoms, like flowers and store them in some water in the fridge.

Change the water every day or so.

Steam, grill, roast ...

smear them with some goat cheese 

(or herbed or plain cream cheese) 

and then, wrap them with

smoked salmon or 

thinly sliced Prosciutto de Parma. 

Or crunch into them raw.  
They're that fresh, sweet and good.

Asparagus
is gorgeous
