Ahhh, I am back. I have literally been traveling for the holidays for two weeks straight and I can not convey how happy I am to be home! Of course I have mounds of laundry and even more mounds of work to catch up on but first thing is first in my house and that is heading out to the market to stock the fridge. I have been waiting a year for Quarry Pond to open in Granite Bay as it is just a few miles down Hazel from my home and huge part of this new development is their food hall, with a green grocer, fish monger, butcher shop, wine shop etc... And I literally have been calling once a week to see which shop has opened. Well the truth is most of them will be open late this month or early next but lucky for me Regionale produce market is open now so after stopping by my favorite Italian Market Foscos I headed over. Regionale Produce Market specializes in local organic produce. They work closely with neighboring farms to find the very best produce in season. Because these farms are small, they are able to personally select the most flavorful fruits and vegetables, and to have them delivered absolutely fresh to their shelves. So I loaded up on baby sweet potatoes, mandarins and apples as well as getting a bag of Lundberg’s Arborio rice which I can never find around here and some corn tortillas named Abuelita’s tortillas produced by MSFT Inc. out of Sacramento of which I will need to do more research on because they are fantastic. I am beyond excited to have this type of market so close to my home. Hell, even if it was twenty-minutes away it would be worth the drive. Go check it out and let me know what you think.
