I finally tried that farmers market you mentioned last weekend. Got there early around 8am and it was already bustling. The strawberries were incredible sweet and juicy. I also picked up some fresh basil and a loaf of sourdough from a baker who sets up near the entrance. There was a live band playing acoustic covers which added a nice vibe. Made a simple pasta with the basil and some cherry tomatoes for dinner that night and it turned out great. I'm planning to go back this Saturday to explore more stalls. They also have a section with handmade candles and soaps that looked interesting. If you want to join next time just let me know. I usually go early before the crowds get too heavy. The parking situation gets a bit tricky after 10am so early arrival is key. Anyway thought I'd share since you were curious about it.

Been experimenting with a new recipe for banana bread and I think I finally nailed it. The trick was using really ripe bananas with brown spots and adding a tablespoon of yogurt to keep it moist. I swapped half the butter for coconut oil which gives it a subtle flavor. Also added some chopped walnuts and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top before baking. It came out perfectly golden and stayed soft for days. I brought some to the office and everyone asked for the recipe. Made a second batch over the weekend with dark chocolate chips instead of walnuts and that was even better. If you want I can send you the full measurements. It's pretty straightforward and doesn't require any special equipment. Let me know if you try it. I'd love to hear how it turns out. Happy baking.
