Where'd the Market Go?




Once a year they move the Portland farmer's market to allow for summer graduation at PSU.  That happened this week.  Everything is in a slightly different spot and it's hard to find your usual stops.  However, that did allow us to find grapes this week.

We're going to freeze blackberries this week.
