Green Bay hosts Farmers Markets on Saturday mornings and Wednesday afternoons throughout the summer. We go periodically. Lots of locals go to see and be seen; beverages of the adult variety abound (basically beer) as well as local produce and "fair food." This trip we bought corn, cantaloupe, onions, squash and cherries. Door County is known for their cherries and man, they are good! They have sweet, Bing, and sour cherries -- each has it's own distinct end game. This year, I've been perfecting my Clafoutis, a very basic French (peasant) dessert. So far our favorite has both apricots and cherries. I've tried a few different recipes; Justin is content being the guinea pig. I bought a pitter contraption that is making easy work of removing the pits. I tried a straw and even a chopstick as suggested on the internet; the $10 was money well spent!
As far as tomatoes are concerned, we are growing a few of our own. Justin seems to have found success as the few we've harvested are simply delish!
After our walk-about at farmer's market, we settled at Keggers to listen to some music. Justin was invited to participate in a blind beer tasting. Had he known they were both lite beers before he started he might have passed, but as suspected, he chose Miller Lite over Bud Lite in the end.
