MARKET DAYS
Yesterday, the kids and I went to the farmer’s market in Concord and then went around the corner to Concord’s Annual Market Days. At Market Days, Main St. is closed off and the stores plus lots of other people set up tents for a day of outdoor fun! Along with all of the tents, there’s rides, face painting, games – even some animals; it’s very much like a small fair.
The kids rode the rides
They played the games
They got their faces painted
They checked out the animals
This is all well and nice (it was, too!), but where’s the food part of this FOOD blog post, Mike? In a blast from the past, I came across The Good Loaf bakery and her blessed pain de mie. Almost none of you will remember last summer when I spoke of this wonderful bread. It holds a special place in my heart because it was posting about sandwiches with this bread that I first became friends with a wonderful Canadian girl named Sara.
Anyway, the kids and I were walking through a huge tent set up with a lot of little tables of various shops when I spotted the bread. I, literally, sucked in air and made a little happy noise. I said, “Pan de Mie! I love this bread!” Because I was so excited about it, she sold it to me for three bucks.
On the way out, I spotted an antique shop selling a bunch of stuff and in a big box marked “4 dollars each” I found this fish roaster and a GIGANTIC cake pan. I have no need for either, but I know someday, someday I will need them and for eight dollars, I’ll be all set.
