Farmer's Market Find





I went to the farmer's market last week with a petite list in hand: Peanut-almond butter, ciabetta bread, honey, all-natural cheddar spread, a locally made pineapple Popsicle for my girl, and a Maitake mushroom for My Sweets. The fruit isn't ready in these parts, and we're growing all of our own salad greens this year.


I had no idea what a Maitake ~ Japanese for "dancing mushroom" ~ looked like before Friday. Isn't it exquisite? The texture is incredible. It was $9 and tastes just as yummy raw as it does sauteed over a grilled flank steak.
