This week I brought home some sugar snap peas, mixed salad greens and goat's
milk cheese, along with (oh, I am a sucker) a wee packet of pink Himalayan
salt (!) and a bar of goat's milk soap. Oh, and one enormous deep red peony,
for the soul. My market is in Copley Square, Boston, twice a week, and has a
great mix of true farm produce and almost elegant bread and pastries.
