Sunday at the Farmers Market

These are my go-to flowers. I always kept fresh flowers at my apartment, and they are still a must even at home! These really pretty and cheap at about $2.00 a bundle and lasts for forever in flower-years (about 2 weeks).

Absolutely in love with these flowers! How adorable are those yellow puff balls?
Really, what could be better than bright and fresh flowers in the Spring?


The fresh honey sticks Brian bought for us. These bring back so many memories! This was my favorite treat as a child when I used to go to this exact farmers market in Alhambra with my mom after my piano lessons. There is a man here that sells fresh honey; you can buy these tasty sticks for 8 for $1.00!





I've spent the past few Sundays at the local Farmer's Market with Brian. I used to love sleeping in on Sunday's but there is just something so exciting and fresh about the Farmer's Market in the spring that I don't miss the sleep at all. I really love shopping for fresh, and often times organic veggies and fruits (and its always nice on my conscience to buy locally from our farmers). It's nice to meet the growers of these products for a change; they're really proud of what they produce and as strange as it may sound, I can taste it in their products. It's also a nice change from the boring, same old Ralphs or Albertsons. Plus, these farmers often have new and exciting things to offer the taste buds!

I found my new favorite stand during this latest visit. As many of my friends know, apple is one of my favorite fruit. That's why I was so excited to find an apple stand complete from apple vinegar, to apple jam and jelly, to fresh fresh fresh apple juice! I had never had apple jam, jelly, or butter and I was ecstatic to try some. Brian and I picked one of the most interesting concoctions on the stand for our first taste Ha's Apple Farm jam. We picked a spread that combined two of our favorite things to eat: Fuji Apple and Jalapenos.

Seems daring doesn't it? But my taste buds are really quite the little daredevils and I LOVE trying new food. We rushed home to toast a slice of bread and....I can assure you that my mouth was singing praises that day. The jam is just sweet enough, and has the consistency of honey. This spread has a delicate taste of fresh apples (drool. I LOVE APPLES) but there is a definite kick to it. Spiced apples? I'll eat this any day, any time.

Next trip: apple butter or pear jam
