City Strawberries and Honey
Aside from some misdirected sexual innuendo, I had a great time at the Madison Farmers’ Market last Friday. The strawberries are incredible right now, so juicy and tasty (I ate them on waffles). I also visited the honey guy, who stocks his booth with a delicious array—including blackberry, wildflower, and orchid honeys. I wasn’t sure which one to get so he gave me a spoon and proceeded to pour different honeys out for tasting. He also indicated that the honey would be good for licking off the guy standing next to me, whom I unfortunately didn’t even know. Suddenly I realized that I had eaten about 10 spoonfuls of honey and walked home content.
Madison Farmers’ Market runs on Fridays from 3—7 pm on 20th Avenue at Madison Street.
Morels are in and good too. A nice morel-strawberry reduction would be an excellent sauce for, say, a chihuahua.
