Dallas Farmers Market

TOW MATERS
SO......
I had to make a trip into north Dallas yesterday for soap supplies and since
The Dallas Farmers Market is on the way we decided to stop.

PINEAPPLES CANTALOUPES AND ORANGES

Lots of local greens, onions, south Texas grapefruit,
farm fresh eggs and honey.
Also plenty of the more exotic fare, pineapples, mangoes and papayas.

FARM FRESH EGGS
Well needless to say I parted with a little green!
We came home with 25lbs. of tomatoes, 14 pineapples, 10lbs. of oranges,
5lbs. of grapefruit, several bell peppers, (yellow and green) and, (I'm not saying how many) onions.
Guess what we're doing tomorrow?
Stay Tuned for canning day!!!!

Till next time,
Bonjour

Our trip to The Dallas farmers Market

Sooooooooo.
Today I left my safe & secure comfort zone & ventured out into the world. We, as in Steve, Nate & I drove into Dallas (YIKES)  to visit the farmers market. (No, not on the tractor.)
I wanted to can some tomatoes & our garden just wasn't producing the amount needed for this project. (About 25 lbs). We found the wholesalers shed & went to town, well sort of.
VIOLA


We also bought a case of pineapples. (Steve cut them up before I could get a picture.)
Canning to commence on Sunday, Stay tuned.

Well after we took care of business we just kinda wandered around taking in the sights & posing for photos.


                        
Posing works up an appitite so we stoped for some tamales at La Popular Tamale House, MMM bueno!!!
We hung around people watching for a while, then it was back to the homestead.
It wasn't near as scarry as I thought it would be. (The traffic, not the market.)

I'll have to get out more often!!!
