New Energy

I have been a few times to the farmer's market at Dupont Circle in NW Washington DC. It is fabulous. I wish it was more convenient, but alas. I went just this past weekend with Daughter and had a great time. We took Metro up there. We ate freshly baked gingersnap cookies and apples purchased from market. We came home with ground beef, sausage, and thinly sliced ham - all from local, antibiotic free, humanely raised farms. The grass-fed beef is from Eco-Friendly Foods. We got yummy goat cheese from Firefly Farm and raw cow's milk cheese from Keswick Creamery. Apples from Toigo Orchards and Black Rock Orchard. The cookies and 3 loaves of fresh bread came from Atwater's Bakery. Yes, we had to cart it all back on the Metro, but it was well worth it for the environment and our collective tummies.

Now that we have all this fabulous food, I want to cook a lot more. I am enjoying cooking and eating yummy foods. I guess you could say I have found new energy for cooking. I think being away from home for a week while visiting relatives helped a bit too. You know, absence (of cooking) makes the heart grow fonder...
