this morning, i met amy for coffee at starbucks and chatted (i mean this in the "old school" sense of the word where we actually met face-to-face and heard each other speak actual sentences) for an hour and half--typical, really-- and then we checked out the harvest market on the corner of franklin and cole. amy and i had both seen the new fresh produce stand recently, and it is operated by calvary chapel boise where amy attends multiple weekly services. she heard that the market's prices were comparable to local grocery stores, so we figured it was worth a saturday morning perusal.
it's a rainy and cold day in boise, but fortunately the produce stand is protected with a heavy-duty canvas cover. inside, the market offers organic produce, fresh herbs, the usual fruits and vegetables like peppers and honey tangerines, and even dried beans. i only spent a few dollars today on green onions, strawberries, and one jonagold apple-- but amy was much more adventurous and purchased a cantaloupe and some red potatoes and pears too. i'm looking forward to sifting through recipes and shopping at the market. located just across the road (albeit: major road...) from my apartment complex, the market should be a convenient and yummy place to shop this summer-- much like my beloved m & w market on warm springs when i lived in n-e boise that supplied granny smith apples and swiss cheese for "crash diet aug 2008" in preparation for LA and vegas.
in addition to eating healthy, i feel good about supporting calvary chapel boise. i still feel guilty for buying a potato masher from their new again thrift store for 10 cents. 10 cents! they should have at least charged me a quarter...
check it out if you get a chance. and let me know-- i'll meet you there. they have mountain dew in the fridge...
