The Hilo Farmer's Market

Delicious!

I think I spent $10 in five minutes yesterday at the Hilo Farmer's Market.  One minute, I had cash in my wallet and then swoooosh . . . gone.  It was well worth, it, though.  Above, left to right:  Kalamansi, corn, avocados, grape tomatoes.  Kalamansi are like little limes, although you'll also see them called Chinese Oranges.  My hair stylist extraordinaire, Travis Enriques, likes to squeeze the juice into sparkling water or over pancit noodles.  I like the fresh juice squeezed over fish.  Mr. L makes a mean vodka tonic with these little gems.  I need to talk a bit about that corn.  Next Saturday, I will be lining up early to get some more of it.  It was so sweet, crispy, and fresh!  I just added a tiny bit of butter and salt.  Mr. L and I devoured those ears.  I am glad we have more for tonight's dinner.  I will do my best to find the lovely ladies who were selling piles of beautiful vegetables and find out more about them.  While in Hilo, the Hilo Farmer's Market is a "must" to check out.
