After I got home from work yesterday, I rushed to walk the dogs, feed Red, change for Lucky Lax, make sure I had all my reffing stuff, and pack a cooler with ice all so I could make it to the farmer's market and get to Lucky Lax on time at 7 pm. I hopped back into my car and drove over to the market. It was a lot smaller than I had expected, but that's ok. The biggest disappoint was that most everything was sold out or low in stock. The Bagel Tree which was the main reason I went had sold out of bagels in the first 30 minutes. I talked with the owner for a few minutes and found out that she just started 2 months ago and this was only their second day in sales. Selling out so quickly, not too shabby. So no bagels for me. Since the markets starts at 4:00, my only option is to send the hubster to get some bagels. I'll make sure he does this next week. I really want to try these bagels. I did manage to salvage the visit by buying a loaf of organic whole wheat sourdough. It smells really good and I cut off a hunk to eat with my meatballs today for lunch. I really wanted a turkey sandwich, but by the time I got done dinner with my friend, the grocery store deli was probably closed and I totally forgot to stop by afterwards.
I have to admit that I was a little intimidated by market vendors. I just quickly walked by each stall. I didn't even know what I wanted to get. Aside from the normal vegetables, I wouldn't know what to do with the more less common ones. I'll have to better prepare for next time. Definitely not the experience I wanted, but it'll do.
Thanks for the mention and liking us on Facebook. All of the support is appreciated. As a recent transplant to Columbus, I also commend you on making it out to the farmers market. The experience can be a little awkward at first.
