I love getting to Dupont early -- not only for the easier parking lol, but because the crowds are often smaller, and there's so much more available. Dangerous for my bank account, but it's all for a good cause, no? :b
Responding to various parts of this thread ...
I've been loving the fresh ginger at Next Step. I use ginger a lot, so this was a very happy find for me.
I still love the feta from Blue Ridge. I could (and do) just eat on its own, though there's also spanikopita, quiche, and grilled (or broiled, given the weather outside) fattoush.
WW flour from Moutoux ... I've been having a great time using it--and turning my friends on to it. I didn't do a comparison to other ww flours, but I used it in a goat cheese and leek galette, pizza, and challah.
There's so much more that's good there, and I plan on heading out in the morning, despite the mushy weather out there. Should be fine by then, and it's supposed be sunny and slightly warmer too.
