At the farmers’ market this week I encountered a group of young men selling cheese and butter. The butter was being sold in sticks and sat in a metal bucket full of ice, and although I was tempted by the hand-churned, fleur de sel-containing nature of the butter, I hemmed and hawed and wandered around the market a second time before returning again and buying a stick. I think it will last us a long time, and already Chris and I have enjoyed it atop chard and red pepper ravioli, which we’d also bought at the farmers’ market. If I wind up moving away from California come fall, which is looking increasingly likely, I will really miss the produce here and our semi-weekly trips to the market.
Moving away??
I need an update…
There are always local farmers’ markets somewhere. You will be okay. I too discovered the delights of pure butter. I realized I could spoonfeed myself French butter if it were not for the social disapproval – so instead now I only bake with it.
Mel – Graduate school beckons… I still have two schools to hear from, though. I’ll be on email.
I almost ate some butter plain the other day. Horrible! I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one with such compulsions. What are you baking lately?
It’s a cute look, the tights are very fun. Farmer’s Markets are wonderful, I just got the most delicious goats’ milk fudge at one today. Yum.
Ooh, I so dig the red tights. The whole outfit, actually, but the red tights in particular.
