Just down from the Capitol in Washington, DC is this gem of a place called "Eastern Market." It is a mix of a Farmer's Market and County Fair booths (at least what you would expect to find at Peach/Strawberry/Steel days in Utah)--but the best part is it's permanent.
I was so excited to finally find a place that would fulfill my meat and seafood needs:
 |
| This is the "inside" part of Eastern Market--where they keep the meat and seafood |
 |
| I love the little mouths on the blowfish. I just want to squish them. |
The best part of Eastern Market (besides the long-cut pig's feet, of course) is the amount of COLOR. Ever since reading an article about how to increase the effect of color in photography, I have been
dying to take some sweet pictures full of exotic color. And Eastern Market is
dripping with exotic color.
 |
| These animals were made out of soda cans (and small wires). Wild, right? |
 |
| This one is my favorite. Aren't the colors just awesome?! |
While at Eastern Market, I had some famous
bluebuck (blueberry buckwheat) pancakes and naturally sampled the free fruit offerings (brilliant! Samples at a Farmer's Market make me want to buy the fruit--and I succumbed this time to one of the most delicious white peaches I have ever eaten!). I didn't have any pickles, though!
This reminds me that I need some retail therapy! School is already becoming burdensome - I think France was just a little TOO good to me.
ReplyDeleteHey, I am so glad you are enjoying yourself in DC, dear Breanne. :]
I love looking at these pictures! Those little elephants are adorable... It looks like you are mastering your camera--these look great! And, I was thoroughly disgusted by the awful foods with exorbitant prices. :)
ReplyDeleteLove those soda can animals! I hope your Target trip was worth the hours of Metro riding...or was at least the silver lining in the cloud. :)
