madbakerThe farmers' market was odd. Fewer vendors than usual, of course, but fairly crowded with locals shopping. No samples and most of the stalls were set up as long tables to keep people from crowding in. Several of the places had you wait in line to order, then you waited while they bagged up your stuff. Of course that took longer. We did get most of our supplies (including two dozen eggses rather than one, but we're not magpie'ing so much as trying to see if we can avoid going next weekend).
One of the meat vendors had duck on special - restaurants cancelled their orders, as one might expect - so I got a 4-pack of duck legs to confit tomorrow. Also a duck breast for the freezer. I also picked up a pig ear. That will either go into a terrine, or boiled and sauced from the Szechuan cookbook. We'll see which I feel like making first.
We did have to stop by Whole Fuds to top off our list, getting buttermilk and goat milk and other sundries. Between waiting in line to get in and in line to pay, it took close to an hour.
I am trying a whole-grain type loaf of bread today. Just to be different. So far it's rising well even with the barley-wheat mix and the pumpernickel flour, but there's a lot of dry yeast in it.
