I wimped out too, but also managed to pick up some goodies...arugula, butter, eggs, grapefruits, and samples of mead and kimchee.
Our friend Sally brought over a big bag of arugula (Dragonfly Farms). It was the pepperiest, best arugula I have ever had. She made a salad with asiago cheese and lemon/olive vinaigrette, which tamed the spiciness of the arugula. My new favorite green salad- and I hope they have some next week!
As promised, here are my duck eggs. I cooked them over easy in a little olive oil. That is a piece of sourdough they are nesting on. Just a dash of fresh ground black pepper and a pinch of salt. Awesome. If you have not been lucky enough to have had a fresh egg, that wonderful thick, orange/yellow yolk that actually has flavor is what you have been missing. As far as taste, the duck eggs didn't taste much different from a fresh chicken egg. I highly recommend you go try some fresh eggs from your local farmer's market!
A perfect day for a duck (egg). I will swing by and pick some up. The two 'green wise' eggs I made this morning were crap. Expiration date of Dec 31 on the carton and the yolks were all runny. I wonder when those eggs were laid? Egg update to follow.
thank you for posting that great pix of my duck's eggs (celeste emailed it to me) ... to answer your question about when grocery store eggs are layed ... well nobody really knows, the labelling law in this country is such that you dont have to put the laying date on the box but the packing date !!!! which means that any eggsfactory can keep eggs for weeks/months and then pack them and put that day's date !!! Yummy !!! also interesting in order to get USDA graded and weighted you (as in farmer) needs to produce at least 1 million eggs a ... week !!! I read somewhere that it was common to eat easter eggs that were layd at X'mas !!!
I sell out every week so you are certain that my eggs are always fresh ... I did some experiment here at the farm and kept a few eggs up to 5 months in the fridge and they were still perfectly good ...
One last yummy tidbit about grocerystore eggs : they (as in factoryeggspackers) spray them with mineral oil in order to close the pores of the eggs which will keep them fresh for even longer !!!

I had to work this morning and I am really bummed I missed the Satsumas. :-( They are my favorite! Any chance that they will be there next week?
I still have some arugula I got last week and it is still so fresh and delicious!
The sweet potatoes and squash I purchased the weekend before Thanksgiving was outstanding as well.
If there is anyone who has not been to the Seaside Farmers Market, please go! Support local farmers! The prices can't be beat and you will never find anything that tastes as amazing in the stores!
