Onions, carrots and lettuce, OH MY!

Well, since I last wrote I ventured down to the Falls Park Farmer's Market today to pick up my first bag of produce from Warner Farms. (If you're from the Sioux Falls area and haven't been to the Falls Park Farmer's Market, you NEED to go... great produce/plants/products that are all grown/made locally).

I came home and pulled out each and every last piece of food, and in my bag I found: a bunch of green onions, a beautiful bunch of lettuce, a pound of carrots, a bunch of radishes, and a handful of mint. While I'm not entirely sure what to do with the mint, I have a feeling I may make a few delicious cocktails with it later in the week. Everything else will be sampled today in a garden salad I'm planning for lunch. After that, I foresee a couple more salads, some raw munching (onions and radishes), and some candied cooked carrots.

I'll keep you posted and maybe take a picture or two.

For now, I'm off to make a salad, and then whip up a batch of Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies for a friend.

Happy afternoon-ing!
