I went to the Farmer's Market in Plumsteadville on Saturday . It is a sweet little affair, complete with a small table of quilters, a Bluegrass Band, 2 tables of fresh, local produce, local honey, some handcrafts, and a cute little girl in a NY Yankees visor selling homemade cookies. I chatted with the sheep lady about the birds using wool for their nests, and the efficacy of spider webs to stop bleeding,..really.
I spent all of $3.00 and left with a huge head of broccoli and two strawberry filled butter cookies. Better yet, I left with a wonderful warm feeling of community, of small town life, thankful for my place here in this lovely corner of the country

Bing! Add broccoli to pasta, cook 2-3 more minutes.
