What a stunning Saturday, we are having here in Sacramento. A perfect morning for bringing out and dusting off that old ritual of heading down to the back parking lot, of Sunrise Mall, to visit the local Farmers' Market. The market traditionally gathered there each Saturday from 8:00 AM - Noon. But when I arrived, not a soul was in sight!
Knowing something was wrong, I returned home, hit the internet, which advised from their website a new location for the Saturday morning market. Fortunately for me, the new location at Sunrise Station (Folsom and Sunrise Blvd) in the Light Rail Parking Lot, is a couple miles closer to my home.
At the market this morning, the smell of fresh baked bread from Sacramento Bakery, and fresh brewed coffee from the little vendor in the next stand, blended delightfully with the fresh flowers and found home on the breeze.
It is always a special treat visiting the Bariani Olive Oil stand. Mr. Bariani always greets with cries of "Good Morning," or it's equivalent in Italian. His voice sounds like wonderful music bellowing from a cello. I'm a fairly serious cook, so often need his wares. Purchasing Bariani Olive Oil is much more than buying fine product - it's indulging in a special experience.
This morning, the strawberries and asparagus looked especially nice.
