There's a Farmers Market quite close by and while Art was gone, buddies Joanne and Diane suggested going there for food and veggies. We went last week and really enjoyed a lot of the food. Art and I haven't tried any of the prepared foods before, but since he was gone and Joanne and Diane were trying some, I decided to try a taste for fun. Yummm!
I bought chicken long rice and teriyaki chicken which they were grilling right there. Mom loved it! The portions were very generous. Mom and I couldn't finish the small size container.
When I went back this time, I bought the large chicken plate since I figured Art would like the left overs and I picked up a box for my brother and his family also.
I was surprised when I went to the stand that sold chicken long rice. I told the friendly seller I wanted the same thing I ordered last week and before I could say what it was, she actually remembered the container size that I wanted and the extra green onions. I was floored. I can't remember what I did yesterday and she remembered my order from last week!
Wow! I'm going back again next time and I'm going to order the same thing.

this sounds like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteYou know how much I love Farmers' Markets, and this one sounds like it's right up your alley. I suspect that Art will enjoy it, too.
ReplyDeleteWow, I wonder if she had a photographic memory? The food must have been really yummy for you to go back. I always enjoy going to farmer's markets. Have a great week Kay.
ReplyDeleteOur little farmers market here has some great food also, but so far no one has remembered my order :) You and your mom must make a very positive impression.
ReplyDeleteI think Jeanie is right. You and your mom are very special, so people remember you. But remembering your order, too, is amazing.

yea, that memory bug must be going around. I never understood food stands or more precisely prepared food at a farmers market.
ReplyDeleteI love Farmers' Markets!!! Yours sounds great!
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah that memory thing attacks me, too!
I love our local markets. But you ARE a wonderful; person. No wonder!
ReplyDeleteWow what a memory. Doesn't that make you feel really special?

That is customer service that is rare to find today.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't been to the Farmers Market at KCC. My sister sells food there, so I really should check it out.
ReplyDeleteI remember the taste of your teriyaki chicken on the grill from the 80s! Unforgettable.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's fun! Are you that memorable, or does that vendor remember all of her customers? I suspect it was that certain something about YOU!
ReplyDeleteFarmers' Markets are great fun, good for the economy and great for the community. And yours has yummy prepared foods!!! Win/win!
