Well, I got home from France last week and was feeling a little sad and experiencing some culture shock. Saturday morning rolled around, and I grabbed my market cart and camera and headed to the Pepper Place Market. No, it's NOT the rue Mouffetard Market but it's a place that feels like HOME! I did have a "Paris Moment" at Continental Bakery's stall. I had a pain au chocolat that was EVERY BIT AS GOOD as the many I had in Paris, for which I am eternally grateful!! I also tucked a baguette in my cart, another Paris staple that I can enjoy here in B'ham and was ever so delicious. I love the energy of this market - the friendly people, the helpful, smiling vendors, the live music, the flowers, the colorful fruits and vegetables....well everything about it. And did I mention that everyone spoke my language - SOUTHERN? Of course I saw many friends there. That's always a highlight for me, seeing friends old and new and catching up! My photography buddy Bill and I watched Chef Frank Stitt do a cooking demo and visited the Lite Box Gallery's newest photography exhibit. I have so many photos from this year and last year, I'll never be able to share them all. Today a taste. Enjoy!!!
