Market Find of the Week

Hello All, I have been very neglectful of updating my blog and I apologize. Since I am at the Pike Place Market almost every week I thought I would post my favorite thing from the market once a week to get me back on the blogging bandwagon.

I love the market, despite all the tourists I still manage to enjoy the localness of it all. Almost every time I am there I find something new and delightful. I love my dirty produce guy who tries to kiss me each time I go in for fruit, I love the cute guy at the Greek place, the sweet woman who runs the Turkish place and my pastry buddy who always knows when a big race is coming up.

This week's favorite came from a quick trip before I dropped a friend off at the airport, she wanted snacks for the plane. It was morning and I stopped into The Crumpet Shop. Have you ever had a crumpet? No!? Go, now, find a crumpet and eat it! It is a British treat, a griddled savory, slightly sweet cake. It has these wonderfully tender nooks and crannies that hold onto butter. The particular one I had was green eggs (eggs mixed with pesto) and cream cheese on a buttered crumpet. My god! After every bite I was practically moaning with pleasure.

Next time I will bring a camera to document my favorites. More next week!
