Spring Cobblestone Market

I can travel to the Cobblestone Farmers Market at the Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts by car in less than 5 minutes. On May 18th, the market will be at Old Salem. Then my commute will be on foot and also less than 5 minutes from the house! This past Saturday I arrived back from the market with treasures! One would have thought I had robbed the bank. I felt like a lucky bandit unpacking the loot.
Feast your eyes...

 Tender baby butter lettuce, asparagus (just harvested), radishes and scallions
 Ready for roasting

 Little radish appetizer in French style...Fresh radish with a bit of soft butter and hint of salt. Yum!

 Preparing the salad - radish greens and all!
Simplest vinaigrette! Thanks Mary Alice! 
Her recipe lived on my Central Street fridge for years and now has taken up residence at Tanners Run! Never fails! Timeless; just like Mary Alice.

 Gentle toss...David bought this wooden bowl for me at a neighborhood yard sale in Waynesville...I use Mother's larger one when we have guests! Wooden salad hands - a gift from sweet Amy Greene; a former library assistant. My goodness, I have been blessed!

Last minute addition. Sunny side up! Keep on the sunny side of life.
How can one go wrong with such special ingredients? 
There you have it...wish you had all been here.
