The Producemeister

It would seem like a slow week if I'm talking about the Producemeister, a cantalope, and the hunt for some celery. But, it feels like a normal week to me.

After 5 weeks, the producemeister came back from holiday. That means we again have fresh produce right outside our front door - it's just so convenient. Well, as long as I pay attention to the clock it's convenient - he's open Monday thru Friday 11-1 and in the evenings 4-7, except on Wednesdays when the shop is closed. Not sure when he opens or closes on Saturdays, but get there sooner rather than later.

This week he had cantalope but not celery. They are hardly interchangable when cooking, but we hadn't seen a cantalope in a while. Went up to the citymarkt to get some celery and the small market is closed until September 23rd. Don't know why, just is.

Taking hunting and gathering to a literal sense is where it's at.
