This review is going to be a two fer one. The first part is for the ladies, second the males. There is often a conflict, when a woman wants to go shopping with a male. So I have written one for each. Hey, what are you doing Friday night? Me: Going to the market. Wow! How lame is that? Well, it’s not. The reason: DINNERPARTIES. It’s why single people aren’t lonely in Europe. It’s coming together, meeting friends and acquaintances face to face. It’s intimate, sharing the same space and simultaneous laughter, instead of those staggered lol’s over txts and instant msging. It’s easy, foraging around at the farmer’s market before dinner is the most effortless way to blow someone’s mind. Pick out something vibrant and fresh for a salad(wild arugula, dandelion greens or watercress) Taste it first. Add thinly-sliced apples & tri-colored radishes. Whisk together a vinaigrette out of apple cider vinegar, dijon, local honey, olive oil & sea salt. Sprinkle on some salty feta, and sear up grass-fed lamb or beef in butter & garlic(use a liberal amount of sea salt). Serve with a crusty loaf of bread and have your friends bring over the wine. Viola! Now you know how to beat the Fort Wayne Freeze even in the dead of winter. Sorry you’re no longer invited. Side note: This particular market is only available June-September. There might be one open year around.
