  1. Oooooh, I love asparagus like nobody's business! I eat it almost everyday during the summer! I would say that "addicted" might describe my be an apt description!

  2. those baked goods look pretty amazing! The whoopie pies look almost as good as the ones around here ;)

    While this baker's whoopie pies are good, they don't quite compete with my moms:) But it's hard to turn down the jumbo whoopie pie :)

  5. If I ever get back to Lancaster, I'll be sure to make this a stop. I think I can bribe the husband with those whoopie pies.

  6. I love loking at martkets from other parts of the world- it reminds me of the local things we take so much for granted that to others are wow moments. whoopies? OMG they look so yummy! The amish kids are such a sight, and reminds me of what I take for granted here- where I work has a large orthodox jewish community- the ones who wear black the massive fur hats. It stands out so much against the backdrop of a very modern and urban suburb. I love the melting pot and the visual and cultural contrast of such experiences. Thanks for sharing MD- it is great to be reminded of the extraordinary in the everyday moments of life.

  10. I just love open air markets like that with all the home grown and home made things for sale. Love the Amish styles too! As for your little basket of goodness, well, much more colourful than my old sive full of spuds, but I appreciate the kind comment about me being "the nicest potatoe" there!! haha. Yep, I hold my hand up and confess..."My name's Paddy, and I AM a potato head!"
