Mushroom Rice (and Boston's Haymarket - like a Farmers' Market Outlet)

[fitfool]

Bostonians, if you don't mind being elbow-jostled, shouted at, and possibly grossed out by paring away the rotten parts of your fruits and vegetables, all in exchange for buying your produce at rock-bottom prices, go check out Haymarket! I sometimes hear it referred to as a farmers market but it's not. The vendors get the leftovers from wholesalers

those little cylinders look cool.

I have been to haymarket, it's very nice if you need things that will be used up within 48 hours. Have you noticed the bronze/brass art on the ground there?

[fitfool]

yeah...I think it's a neat touch :)

Wow. I wish we had a place like that here. And really, everything you bought can really be frozen and saved for later with a little prep. Are you planning on making some pesto with the basil, by chance?

[fitfool]

I did indeed buy the basil to make pesto. How do I freeze mushrooms?

[marinade]

I abhor mushrooms, so I wouldn't freeze them. But, my parents do!

When I lived in boston I used to go to Haymarket all the time! It's great! The recipe sounds really yum

[fitfool]

I'm a little bummed that I didn't go to Haymarket more often when I lived in Boston.

I think I'll be trying this recipe pretty soon. Reading it reminded me I bought mushrooms the other day without a clear picture of what I was going to do with them. Now they're hiding in the bottom drawer of the fridge and I forgot they were there.

Also, although I don't anticipate buying a bunch of produce while I'm there, I'm wicked excited to visit Boston in October!

[fitfool]

Yay for Boston in October! Good time of year too.

Ah, the Haymarket! *feels nostalgic*

And the vendors seem not to yell at me anymore for prodding at the produce on display.
