Continuing my hijack of Thimes’ CSA post…stopped by Lexington FM on an uncomfortably hot Tuesday (yesterday). Sadly, FMs are not among spring onion’s favorite venues, especially when it’s that hot so I have to act quickly. I managed to grab a sourdough loaf from Bread Obsession and as-always wondrous greens from Flats Mentor (baby bok choy, Chinese broccoli, and yu choy). There was a woman in front of me at Flats and she was questioning the nice young guy about their arugula…“What kind of arugula is that?” He politely fielded her question, but all I could think was, “huh…do you think it’s some weird Asian arugula?” I’m sure the heat and chasing after spring onion was making me cranky, too. (BTW, their arugula is peppery and spicy, unlike yucky grocery store stuff). She acquiesced and bought a bunch. Their greens were as bountiful and as beautiful as ever but there were stacks of it at 4:30 pm yesterday. Check these guys out at your local FM. You will not be disappointed.
