Farmers' Market 4/01/06

Our bounty from our farmers' market trip yesterday. You can see the cauliflower of doom, the most beautiful leeks I've ever seen, dill, parsley, basil, arugula, purple amaranth, lots of bunny food, a cherimoya and (sob!)the last mandarins of the season.

I've never eaten amaranth before, the people growing it said it tastes like spinach. Anyone know what to do with it? This week's menu up next.
