Tuesdays are typically a “blah” day of the week. You still haven’t exactly caught up on your sleep from the weekend, but it’s not quite “hump day.”
I like to think of Tuesday as the purgatory of the work week. However, as of yesterday, my Tuesdays have gotten a little better.
Why, you ask? Because there is now a Farmer’s Market on Tuesday afternoons. I can pick up the bread, meat, or produce I need for dinner. I can get a treat of mini galettes from Jackie of Les Mini Galette or a sea salt brownie from Peggy at Catlett Confections.
Or, if I don’t feel like cooking, I can buy some delicious BBQ from Absolute BBQ to take home or over to the Harris Pavilion for their Take Out Tuesday concert. I know, I know, I’m the market manager, so you’re wondering: “Is this just a shameless plug for the new market?”
Believe it or not, this is not just an article written for promotional purposes. In my own kitchen, I often want to cook with local produce, but, when you are cooking for one, you can’t go to the store one time a week and expect fresh produce for your “later in the week” needs.
The solution: shop for fresh produce more often. That way you don’t overbuy and possibly waste food and your money. I go to the grocery store a couple of times a week to buy veggies, but with this new Farmer’s Market, I can cut this store shopping in half. Especially since this market is conveniently open directly after work. Who wouldn’t be excited?
No grocery store lines and fresh, delicious produce to enjoy mid-week. If your Saturday mornings are busy or your favorite day to sleep in, we’d love to see you at our Tuesday market. Or maybe you have ravenous teenagers and need to get another watermelon.
Make sure to stop by and support your local growers and artisans. Next Tuesday (July 30, 2013) Historic Manassas, Inc. will host a ribbon cutting celebration at 4:30 p.m. to launch this new market. Join your community in celebrating this venture and enter to win a raffle of FREE market goodies!
