If your knowledge of farm produce is based on what's available at the typical supermarket, you might think there are only two kinds of potatoes: Yukon Gold and Idaho. I'm no expert, but I'm certain there's more variety than that! Lucky for me, there's a farmers' market at Union Square. We bought a bag of peanut shaped spuds yesterday. I'm not sure how I'm going to prepare them this evening, but I'm leaning towards a treatment with olive oil and garlic.
Before hitting the farmers' market, I put 2 k on my Concept 2 rower. I have not touched the rower since I embarked on the now 11,000 plus burpee challenge. As soon as I pulled on the handle, the rotor sent up a cloud of dust that almost initiated an asthma attack. My time was 7'44"1, not exceptionally fast, but not disappointing. It seems that the burpees, while not making me a stellar oarsman, kept me physically prepared for something. That's gpp.
Holly Molly, $3 for a pound of Ratte potatoes... that's like 12 times the price paid to the producer in France!
ReplyDeleteNow, I wonder if THAT an act of madness is random after all...

Thanks sandman. Somehow, I lost the last two comments from you and Mrs. Sandman. Sorry for the omissions.
ReplyDeleteNo worries! It happens to me too.
