FOODIE FUN IN EUGENE, OREGON

Eugene’s Saturday Market.  Music, food vendors and dozens and dozens of arts and crafts vendors (tie-dye, pottery, weaving, jewelry, jams, paintings, t-shirts, hats, woodwork, bird-houses…) fill two blocks.  Another block is given over to causes, an information booth, and a public speaking forum.  The fourth block is a farmer’s market, full of beautiful foodstuffs and flowers, baked goods, pasture-grown meat, eggs, mushrooms…

	It’s a riot of color!  We came home with two kinds of dried beans I’ve never seen, lamb and goat for stew, tiny baby pattypan squash and freshly dug baby russet potatoes (both vegetables eaten for dinner last night).  Bliss.
