Oakland Sunday Farmer's Market & College Avenue











Do you want to say "a cooks heaven"? Well, I was swimming in it all afternoon yesterday with my family and the Reno Family in Rockridge at the Farmer's Market! Yippie, it happens all year long, every Sunday. And I am told this was a SMALL market. It is one of many that happen here in the Bay area. I have uploaded a few images for you to enjoy, I will try to include more, but I am so brand new to this particular site that it will take some time for me to work my way to the competent and efficient stage of loading my blog, so bear with me, please!
The strawberries were so fragrant we could smell their sweetness wafting out thru the bag they were being toted around in......the blackberries were large and plump, but not as equally sweet as the red , luscious strawberries. We just popped them in our mouths like candy for dessert. The chicken sandwich is from Bake Sale Betty's; check her out on the web. The line to enter her shop was at least a 30 minute wait.....and let me tell you-IT WAS WORTH IT! Michael and I had to split it, and even just 1/2 was more than enough! A tender, juicy fried chicken breast, mounded with a crisp, fresh cabbage slaw that was generously studded with fresh jalapeno peppers, all squeezed between a torpedo style roll..........hard to get ones mouth around!
The shot of the flowers and the "posters" of meat prices are the local shops on College Avenue.
