Farm Fresh Dinner

I know that these days it is very cool to have your own garden. Even in big cities like Louisville there are tons of people that grown their own produce. Dan and I have not arrived at that level I guess. I tried to start small last year and grew my own basil....and eventually killed my own basil. Hopefully in the future we can take after Dan's parents and have a good sized garden. But before that we have to have land. And before that we have to buy a house. Hmmm. So until that day, fresh food markets and farmer's markets will have to suffice.

Early this summer Dan and I were walking a walk around Old Louisville when we discovered that a fresh food market had opened up just a block from our apartment. We stopped in, met the owner, and surveyed what he had to offer. I was very excited that The Root Cellar had opened and had a very large variety of Kentucky Proud fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meat products.

Last week I made a visit and picked up some items so we could have a Root Cellar meal. Everything we ate came from the market and made a very tasty meal! I look foward to visiting the Root Cellar year round and experimenting with the seasonal foods it has to offer!
