Josh's Organic Market and a UNC Loss

| Monday, January 5, 2009
Nice little Sunday, in the words of Frank the Tank.  Gwen and I took Mila for a walk along the fixed up Hollywood Broadwalk.  While we were there, we stopped at this farmer's market I had been saying "we should really go there" for a while, but hadn't.  So since we're supposed to be doing more stuff in 2009, I decided we'd go and we did.

It was pretty impressive as far as farmer's markets in Florida go.  Just about everything was organic and everything was labeled (organic or not, local or not, picked yesterday, etc).  There was a pretty large group there and it seems a lot of people go there regularly.  Definitely the type of place I could go to pick up stuff for the week.  

The prices were just about the same as Publix, maybe just a little more.  Some things in particular looked great, like the cilantro that was picked the day before and smelled awesome.  I bought that, some tomatoes and a few other things and made some salsa (recipe coming up soon).  Good stuff, and a nice walk by the beach.  Here's a picture of Gwen and Mila near the water (they kicked us off right about here and told us no dogs allowed on the beach.

And to top it off, Duke won and rose to #2, UNC lost and dropped below us.  What more could you ask for?

My friend always goes to a farmer's market somewhere in coral gables or the grove or something. She loves it and always has the freshest fruit and stuff. I will ask her which one she frequents. I've never really been to one.
