I went across the river today to go to Eagle Island and get some fresh butter beans and peas. I got a bushel of each, and brought them home and got busy. To me, there is nothing better than fresh veges. We have certainly had our share over the last week. We went to the Farmer's market last Saturday. We finished up everything we had bought by Thursday. We had to eat out on Friday, and that was the first day I ate meat last week.
Tomorrow we are headed up to Seagrove for my nephew's 15th birthday party. We can't get to Seagrove without stopping in at David's produce on highway 220. It's peach season now, so I hope to get a few peaches. The late frost did hit them pretty hard this year, but hopefully they will have some.
My brother has really been making me aware of trying to eat food grown closer to home. David's produce isn't in my own back yard like Eagle Island, but it is on my route this week. I'm sure that counts for something. Surely they will have some good local watermelon! Yum, Yum.
