Chances are that the person selling you food probably knows how to prepare and pronounce it, too. If you make a mid-years resolution to make conversaion with the vendors and new things for dinner, you might be glad you did.

Produce at the Market:
Well, rhubarb, it's been fun. As good as it's been to have seemingly endless opportunites for strawberry and rhubarb pie, their departure is met with the arrival of both tart and sweet cherries, broccoli, snap peas, onions,and right around the corner, blueberries! Don't forget about the greens: nappa cabbage, bok choy, kale, and lettuce. The opportunity for a great salad or stir fry is ripe!
