Farmers Market

The Lemont farmer's market has grown from just a couple of tents to at least 10. I bought a little lemon tart from a French speaking nun, and some cheddar cheese curds, a couple of cukes and a half dozen of the Mirais sweet corn. It is so good, I had an ear for lunch along with a small tomato and a few cheese curds. Reminds me of when we would go to my Grandmother's(Busia) near South Bend. She would cook up a bunch of corn and we would see who could eat the most ears. I think my limit was four; my cousin Berni could down six.
I did get out this morning before the toadstools wilted, but the grass was wet and I didn't want to kneel down to get a picture, so I didn't get a good picture. Maybe tomorrow. If I get a good one, I will send it in to channel 5 10:00 news for fungus Wednesday.

What a yummy lunch! When we had a place in Michigan, our next-door neighbor could eat 10-12 at a sitting! That was her dinner. Loved it so much.
