Goodies from the USDA Farmer's Market

This morning, Carlos and I biked to the Natural History Museum and decided to visit the Farmer's Market held by the USDA on Friday mornings.  It is a pretty small market (in a little parking lot next to the USDA building), but the quality of the goodies here makes up for the lack of diversity.

We stopped by one of the big produce stalls first and stocked up on four different kinds of tomatoes (mini purple Cherokee, yellow, red, Roma), curly kale, jalapeƱos, sweet concord grapes, and mini cucumbers.  We also popped by the kettle corn stall and bought three different flavors of delicious kettle corn: green apple, vanilla, and watermelon!  

When we got home, I took some pictures of the things I had never tried before: concord grapes, kale, and the popcorn.  I will try to use the kale to make kale chips -- let's see how that turns out!

Erin, how did you like the kale chips? We made them the other day and they were delish!
