It\u2019s so exciting to see all the fresh and exotic produce for sale. We bought a most delicious Tahitian <a href=\"http:\/\/whatscookingamerica.net\/pomelo.htm\">Pomelo<\/a>, it tasted like a cross between a lemon and a grapefruit. (Our friends have a pomelo tree in their backyard, not of the Tahitian kind, rather the Palo Alto kind.) ;o)<br \/>\nWe also purchased trompettes de mort, known stateside as <a href=\"http:\/\/theforagerpress.com\/fieldguide\/augfd.htm\">black trumpets<\/a>. Somehow, S thought that \u201cdeath trumpets\u201d would not market \/ sell.<br \/>\nTomatoes are here! Summer must be close \u2013 it was the tomato farmers first weekend at the market.<br \/>\nAt the butcher, we purchased a rabbit, which S prepared last night just like Maman Rebaud. A bit salty, but very, very tasty.<br \/>\nDeciding that we\u2019d spent more than enough money, we headed back to the car. Unfortunately (or fortunately, however you look at it) we came upon a French yogurt table. Pure, traditional <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stbenoit.com\/\">French yogurt<\/a>: sweet, creamy (we\u2019re talking full-fat here) and simple. Though the market didn\u2019t have the lively camaraderie of the French markets (no calling out to people to come shop at their stand, etc.), we were sold and are looking forward to our next shopping trip.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nIn other weekend news, I went to see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brideandprejudicethemovie.com\/\">Bride and Prejudice<\/a> Saturday afternoon (sans the husband \u2013 I couldn\u2019t drag him to a musical, a Bollywood musical at that, if I tried). I absolutely LOVED the movie. (I\u2019m a lover of all things Jane Austen: Emma, Sense &#038; Sensibility, Persuasion.) The female lead, Aishwarya Rai (who is currently in <a href=\"http:\/\/sfgate.com\/cgi-bin\/article.cgi?file=\/c\/a\/2005\/03\/21\/BAG29BSECO1.DTL\">Oaktown<\/a> filming a movie) is truly beautiful and the equivalent to the goofy Mr. Collins, Mr. Kholi, is HILARIOUS!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday, my nagging finally paid off: S + I spent an expensive morning (expensive because of the parking ticket we left with) at the Ferry Plaza Farmer\u2019s Market.
