It’s back – or I should say, they’re back! This morning on our way back from Boston and a great breakfast at the Cambridge site of The Friendly Toast (the original is in Portsmouth NH in all its tattoo’ed glory) with Chris and Grace, we stopped at the Lippett Park Farmers Market. I ran right to the Narragansett Creamery table and got a tub of ricotta cheese – I can’t wait to break into it! I had hoped to get some yogurt as well – I want to start using those strawberries in the freezer for smoothies – but they had sold out. But low and behold – we stopped Farmstead to check out their remodeling job (it’s beautiful) – and they had some of the Creamery’s yogurt. Thanks goodness! If you are in the Wayland Square area, you should check out Farmstead and if possible, eat at La Laiterie at Farmstead. They have a cheese cave – really a temperature controlled cheese room that you can peer into from the retail space. There are so many cheeses sitting there,waiting to be tasted! I’d love to get locked in sometime for a few hours! While at Farmstead we got some cornichons for tonight’s dinner – maybe to go with the trotters? Whatever they are for, I’m glad to have them back! And to have some of Louella’s wonderful cheese and yogurt back in the house is truly a wonderful thing! And Josh was a happy boy as we stopped at one of our favorite bars, Track 84, after hitting the market and Farmstead. Josh had Stone Vertical Epic and Brooklyn Chocolate Stout - it was a dark beer kind of day. And I was a happy girl filling up on Diet Coke and peanuts. Granted some of the items we had today were not local but we did hit many of our favorite local businesses - it’s been a good day so far!
