Erin Tormey is the director of the Coastside Farmer’s Market
Well, Marketeers,
They arrived this morning! BOTH Markets are now fully certified and set to open beginning on Saturday, May 3rd in Half Moon Bay, followed by a rousing good time for Opening Day in Pacifica on Wednesday, May 7th.
To celebrate, I opened that last bottle, you know, the one I have been storing, lovingly, since late last fall. Right in the middle of the day, all by myself, as soon as the ink dried on my certificates. I have been waiting for a good reason to celebrate, an occasion to savor the redolent fragrance, the gorgeous full bodied-ness of it. Ah, yes, that sublime, complex, late harvest olive oil from Big Paw was the exact right vintage in which to plancha a few perfect asparagus, and toss in a peel of the last of the meyer lemon, crushing of sea salt, a crack of pink peppercorn. Quite a nice lunch when paired with a plate of white beans in a citrus vinagrette with garlic greens. My, My.
Jeez. What was I talking about?
Oh, yeah. Opening Day is coming up - and I am tickled. It will be quite a surprise and thrill to one and all to see who appears on day one this season, what with this wacky weather and attendant silliness.
