It's June and the Farmers Market is here. Every Wednesday in Drake Park a ton of local growers assemble to sell their produce to the locals of Bend, Oregon. This takes place half a block away from my apartment, and I've been looking forward to it since arriving in Bend in January.

The supermarkets already carry excellent produce. With the farmers market you get to meet the growers, and find some amazing products. This week I brought home some yellow squash, heirloom carrots, wild mitake mushrooms, and some gorgeous tomatoes. I used all of this to make a Moroccan Vegetable Stew that I discovered on The Skinny Gourmet, tomato sauce for Eggs in Tomato Sauce that I discovered at SmittenKitchen, and a mushroom sauce from Gordon Ramsay on youtube.

You could probably say that I'm going to be a regular at this thing.
