Best Farmer's Market you've been to

@Embackus - I can't wait for the Ithaca market. I am a senior in highschool in NC and will being going to Cornell next year. I made a quick trip to the market while I was up there this past summer and wish I had had more time to look around. What are some of your other favorites? Ithaca favorites to eat?

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Devil's Food Dictionary'

Krab: (n) A member of the crustacean family, Krab is light a flakey delight common to such treats as lobster and octopus. Super white and full of lumps, Krab makes an appearance in many middle-rate grocery stores across the U.S. and is favored as an ingredient in "Krab Dip." It is unknown the origins or stomping grounds of this wild and abundant creature, but its low price and pale white color make it a favorite among sea food connoisseurs around the globe.

Most embarassing food moment?

when I was about 8 i baked an apple pie for my neighbor across the street. At the time, they went on and on about how much they loved it and ate every bite. I now date those neighbor's niece, and have recently learned that when I left the pie out on the front stoop it became infested with ants in about two seconds.

I guess its the thought that counts.

A Zingerman's Education: Exclusive Student Care Packages

being in fact a senior myself, ( and no, not the wiser variety) I am well qualified to answer in on this subject. Here's what my ultimate care package would be:
-Claudio Corallo's Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans - To get me though those late night study sessions
- One big loaf of cherry chocolate bread- this thing sounds intensely good
- Blanxart Spanish Dark Drinking Cocoa to warm up before one of those mid-term exams
-Fruit Jellies from Northern Italy - every student loves candy, and these seem to be the finest around
- 1/2 lb of Aged Italian Provolone - to kick up cafeteria sandwiches, lord knows they need it
2 Orange Almond Brownies - one for me and one to make a friend
-Bronte Pistachio Cream- I think I could find 1,000 uses for this

This would be the ultimate gift package and taking notice to the trend, would cost around $100. Please someone send this to me now.
