Local Farmer's Markets in the South Bay
As the air warms and the sunsets head north toward Malibu, I crave a few extra minutes outdoors. Along with my recent resolution to read one magazine or newspaper a day (and please don't ask me how that's going), I'm vowing to make it to a Farmer's Market a week. It's the perfect place to super-multi-task... get inspired to cook new dishes with seasonal ingredients, skip the chore of the market, move around in the fresh air, have lunch and ideally visit with a friend to enjoy it all even more, if I'm lucky enough.
