Yesterday mom and I spent a lovely afternoon in Monterey.
Just before heading home we happened upon the weekly farmer's market downtown on Alvarado Street.
Live music, fresh tortillas, homemade jams, fresh cut flowers and produce, olive oils and balsamic vinegars for tasting - yum! Handcrafted jewelry, knitted scarves and slippers, you name it. The streets were packed.
We shared a carnitas taco and I found myself a perfect butternut squash for making bisque.
What better place to hit up a farmer's market than the Salinas Valley?
* I wish I had brought my camera along; instead I stole these photos from the internet :)
"twas a lovely afternoon my dear...thanks for sharing it with me...oh, by the way, I noticed you did not mention our shoe shopping...it will be our little secret;)
