Fun at the Farmer's Market

I went to the Pearl Farmer's Market this morning for the los sabores del mercado Venza event. I had so much fun meeting some of the chefs and vendors, talking with them and sampling
the food that local San Antonio chefs prepared using some of the vendor's fresh ingredients. The food was absolutely delicious and the tastings were generous. (I didn't take any pictures because my camera doesn't work in daylight even though I changed the settings; the pics are whited out.) But, I am trying to get recipes for all the wonderful food I sampled and will share them when I do.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but I didn't buy anything at the farmer's market today because I was so busy running around sampling the delicious food, talking to the vendors, and having great conversations with fellow foodies while we stood in the long lines. My plan was to meet and chat with each chef and vendor, then make another round to buy everything I wanted, but I ran out of time!! There's always next Saturday and Pearl is my new favorite place to be on Saturday mornings.

I've been cooking up a flavor idea that I wanted to share on this blog; I haven't mentioned it before because it's been simmering
in my mind and I also needed to see if flavorful people wanted to participate. On Fridays, I'll have a Friday Flavor post featuring some of the local flavor here in San Antonio... maybe a chef interview, hopefully with recipes, maybe a restaurant review, maybe a farmer's market vendor interview to let you get to know the food and the people behind the food, and lots of other flavor that makes San Antonio so special. In addition, I'll be creating
new recipes with the food I buy at the farmer's market, and will be including those recipes in the new Tex-Mex Cookbook I'm writing.
