Radish Run

French breakfast radishes

like bright red bouncy balls

more radishes

The chef invited me to go to the Union Square Farmer's market this Saturday-yeah, I jumped on that opportunity. It's not often that Erik let's me near his work, both in the physical and emotional sense- it's important for me to see how he works.

Even though we've been in this area for the past 4 years I've never been to the farmer's market. Weird. The first thing I noticed was the powerful cilantro permeating the air. Ahh. Even though it was hot, crowded and humid I;m so glad I was able to go with Erik.

Radishes were the reason we came. My parents and grandparents have farmed in Ohio and I thought I knew all about produce. But I had no idea there were so many kinds of radishes. I forgot how bright and beautiful produce is supposed to be. Even more reason to move to Ohio and farm my own food.
