Some of My Favorite People (Part 1)

These folks are some of my favorite market people. Assistant manager Kip and Market manager Sarah are faithfully at market with the rest of the vendors every time we have a market. I'll have to get a pic of Joe soon!

Sarah is usually around on Saturdays, making sure everyone has what they need, answering questions, dealing with any problems that arise and being a source of upbeat, positive energy. Plus, she's one of my best friends and she loves our guacamole.

Kip is usually around on Wednesdays and is so helpful and friendly. He helps us set up and I enjoy chatting with him and watching him eat our brownies.

Larry is the Cowdery of Cowdery Farm, and they are where we get all of our jalapeno, poblano, cayenne, habanero and Hungarian wax chilies from that go into our salsas, seasonal dressings and other dishes at the restaurant. They have the most gorgeous set-up at market come the height of the season! Imagine all the colors of the produce rainbow from the deep reds, oranges and yellows of tomatoes and bell, sweet and hot peppers to the greens of, well, greens and summer squashes, the blue hue of fresh broccoli and the deep purple of savory eggplant and more peppers! Amazing!

Thanks to you, some of my favorite market people! You make our experience so positive!

I am writing this as Wednesday market is going on. Unfortunately, Bruno feels under the weather today and we are not up for a potentially very rainy day. But we will see you all on Saturday! Until then, dream of tartlettes packed with local fruit...
