Late
summer is always a colorful time at local farmers markets. At our
farmers market here in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, open Tuesday and
Saturday mornings, the place bustles with vendors and buyers. Of
course, people come primarily to buy the fresh produce, but also the
wholesome ambience with music, and flowers, and smells of roasting
food contributes to the happiness. Here in Northern New Mexico, there
is a tradition of roasting green chilis over flames—and the smell
is fabulous.
I
am an artist, so relishing the incredible colors and shapes of
produce is a treat. Recently I made a still-life painting from items I bought at the market.
Lately,
I have been bringing home an armful of fresh food and making
flavorful soups that lasts for days.
