Gooseberries!

I hit the Bloomingdale market this morning, which is probably the closest farmers market to my house.  It’s really a nice little farmers market with good variety of produce, meats, and prepared foods.

What I was really excited to find was fresh gooseberries at Reid’s Orchards.  I get very excited about these tart little berries, because they are just hard to find.  Plus, I like saying “gooseberries.”  It feels very Jane Austen, or something fabulously old-fashioned.

I still haven’t decided if these will go in a tart or if I’m just going to save them for my lunch this week.  I think they would look extraordinarily cute in my bento-style lunch box.

I also bought some delicious red currants.  I’m not sure if I like them because they are so pretty, or because they taste good.  As long as I eat them, I suppose it doesn’t matter.
