Audrey had told us about a Farmers' Market here in Santa Monica. Not much for breakfast as we have not been to the grocery store yet. Need to get some shopping done soon. Started walking downtown to 2nd and Arizona streets. People are all out and about filling the streets with some talking and laughter. Today you cannot see far as it is very foggy out.
So many absolutely beautiful flowers all over the market. Loved all my choices.
BERRIES, BERRIES, BERRIES. Marlon bought me a carton of blackberries. I tasted them and loved them, I had to stop eating them before I ate the entire container of berries.
Found this odd looking fruit, can't tell you what it is.
It's only 8:30 am and the place is beginning to fill up.
The tent with the amazing looking bread, was our first purchase. This bread was made by Kenter Canyon, Farms in Sun Valley, CA. Bread was 100% whole grain, stone milled and the name of bread was Sonora County Blonde. We chose the bread on the left.
Best dates produced in CA according to the chef we met. She said that she only shops there after sampling all the dates at the Farmers Market. Like how the tent had branches of dates hanging around and wrapped around the pole of her tent.
There were several streets filled with tents full of veggies and fruits at the market. Marlon and I really enjoyed shopping there.
On the way home I saw this neat looking building and later saw that it was only a parking garage. Oh, well I liked the artwork on the front of it.
Also, sitting on the ledge of a building were a line of buddha's. Gotta keep your eyes open around here. So much to see and do.
Dinner tonight was completely made from everything we got at the Farmers Market. Fresh halibut caught by local fishermen marinated with Meyer Lemon and rosemary, baby potatoes of various colors, and peas. Glass of white wine to top off a delicious dinner.
