Markets Are Alive

When last have you been to the market? not the supermarket or a mega-market; I'm talking about those weekly or daily farmers' markets where everything is fresh, sometimes alive, in variety and abundance.
In this week's column, I discuss my market-trips as a youngster.
Below are some recent market scenes. For more, view the album on the right.

I find going to the market too stressful, I aint goin' lie. De vendors does bully me.

@ Stephanie - girl, I know exactly what you mean. If you start going regularly, the vendors will become familiar with you and give you an ease. Strike up a friendship with them, you'd be amazed at the response.

We are so blessed to have fresh food in abundance all year round.

Today is one of those days that I am at a loss as to what to cook. It is one of those days I wish there was a daily market here (in Barbados), that way, I could take a stroll through, be inspired, grab the stuff I need and come home and create something.
