I get restless and can't sleep very well this time of year, so I was up bright and early to hit the farmer's markets of Saturday morning. My first stop was at the Columbus Indoor Farmer's Market, where I found sweet potatoes (which I turned into curry), kale (which I sauteed with olive oil and red pepper flakes), onions, sprouts, honey hand lotion which turned my ashy, flaky winter hands into something which actually looks like skin, bee pollen, and several kinds of sprouts. Alas, they were out of eggs by the time I got there, so I headed north to Worthington.
From Worthington, I picked up some really tasty chicken chorizo sausages, chicken thighs, and a dozen eggs from Speckled Hen Farms, and then got some ground beef from Up the Lane Cattle.
Although I am really happy we have successful winter markets here in Central Ohio, I am so ready for the late spring and summer markets. Around this time of year, it seems as though winter will never end.
But hang in there. It will.
