My town started a farmer's market on Sunday mornings. It's not quite as good as the one 5 minutes away in the next town on Saturday mornings, but I'm glad it gives farmers a chance to sell their products in a better environment.
The new market was such a big deal the local TV station had a crew on hand. And, yes, if you looked quickly, the Mrs. was on film waiting to buy pickles.
After seeing her on TV it made me feel like I'm living with a movie star.
The new market is on Main Street in Edison, and the only complaint is different vendors show up, which is good in a way, but bad in another. They have a pickle guy, and we love our pickles. This week we had pickled mushrooms, some new pickles, and gardinara.(sp)
But the new market doesn't have a bread guy like the market in Metuchen has. And the bread guy has focaccia, so none for me this week.
But we did get some wonderful peaches. This year seems to be the best for peaches in a long time. And the Mrs also picked up some wonderful plums and heirloom tomatoes.
We really enjoy the heirloom tomatoes. We slice them up, and use the slightest sprinkle of sea salt. The ones we had were slightly less acidic than the usual tomatoes we get, but bursting with flavor.

MMMM, Fish Tacos
I swear these are great. I've had them from a chain, Baja Fresh, and they are good. They differ slightly from regular tacos (besides using fish) in that they use a lime dressing, and a soft shell.
But this weekend, we ordered them from Rojo's Jersey Mex in Ocean City, NJ. Wow! These were so unbelievable. Instead of a tiny piece of fish, like at Baja Fresh, these tacos used a big piece of grouper. Grouper is a delicious white fish, mild and firm.
While on vacation, we had Rojo's deliver a few Jersey Mexican treats, and my favorite was the fish tacos, obviously.
If you ever have a chance to visit Ocean City NJ area, stop by Rojo's Jersey Mex for a real treat, and terrific fish tacos.
One of my favorite things to do on vacation is try different places to eat. I avoid the chains, and visit the locals. I'm rarely disappointed.
