I just realized the last week’s worth of posts have been about food. Guess we all know where my priorities lie.
I had to go into the office for a few hours today, so I decided to reward myself with a post-work visit to Haymarket. All of Boston was out and about (sunshine + temperatures above 50 degrees) and the place was pretty packed. But all it takes is a beautiful bunch of asparagus for $1 to make it all worth it. I’m always blown away by the variety and prices at Haymarket — so much better than the grocery stores in this town. The vendors are a real treat, too. They yell at the patrons who don’t follow proper Haymarket etiquette, so it’s like built-in entertainment. If you are ever in Boston and need a friend to guide you through the market, let me know — I’m always happy for a reason to load up on produce!
And BOY was this asparagus divine in that dish you made for Sunday dinner. I don’t even know how to cook asparagus, let alone purchase it. You are my kitchen idol; I should contract you to teach me some/any skill.
And 4.5 years in to Boston, I should probably make it over to Haymarket on a Saturday, eh?
