I love to go to the farmer's market. There is one not far from my house. Since I live in a culturally diverse area there are many different fruits and vegetables available. There are some I have never seen before and would personally have no idea how to prepare or what it would accompany. They also have an array of sauces, dips, marinades and condiments from all over. It is by far my favorite place to shop. Besides, I can create a 3 course meal for myself and my fiancee for about $25.
