There weren't quite as many vendors today as the last time I went (two weeks ago) but there were one or two I hadn't seen before. I got there close ot the end of the market so some vendors may have already left and some things were sold out. I got spicy greens, red pepper, carrots, radish, crimini mushrooms, a mix of soup veggies, apples, rockfish, trout and herbed carrot soup. The eggs, cheeses, pasta, sausages, baked goods, chocolates, and gelato looked great but I managed to resist buying too much today. I can take the Capital Crescent Trail from my house to the market, which is lovely on a day like this but carrying everything back can be a challenge.

I'm thinking about joining one of the market-based CSAs at the Bethesda Central Farmers Market. Bending Bridge Farm has one and so does Cats Paw Two Acre Farm. Both are organic and both let you choose the produce you get each week. Any advice on choosing one?

Thanks to everyone who made this so successful. The food was wonderful. I loved Monica's stories (especially the okra tiramisu) and I'm looking forward to trying out some of the recipes in Modern Spice.
