Farmers Market

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.

  1. You 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.

  3. Our 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.

  4. I think Jeanie is right. You and your mom are very special, so people remember you. But remembering your order, too, is amazing.

  14. Well, 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!
