Farmer's Market -- 02 June 2019 (Acacia Day, 14th of Meadow, Year 227)

[neotoma]

Chicken empanada, garlic scapes, sunflower plants, ancho pepper plant, pink-petaled strawberry plant, lime-scented thyme plant, hardy kiwi plant, 1/2 gallon of milk, pint of chocolate milk, a dozen eggs, 3 quarts of strawberries, apple schitz, caramel skyr made from goat's milk (!), and cornmeal made from Bloody Butcher dent corn, which I'm told will turn purplish in the baking.

I was talking to one of the farmer's, and it looks like this or next might be the last week for strawberries this year, which is a fairly short season for them.

Acacia Day!

That corn looks really cool; it would be fun to bake with the meal. Lime scented thyme? that sounds great. Tell me if the caramel skyr tastes as good as it sounds.

The lime-scented thyme goes into the Strawberry Honey Lime Thyme jam I make for my mother.

The corn is going to show up in cornbread soon. Maybe as early as this weekend. And maybe in homemade tortillas, if I get ambitions.
