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.

Yes, I bought purslane.  Without having any idea what we would do with it.  And without knowing that some people consider it just a weed.  We tried it in eggs, salads, enchiladas.
