Faux-ish Farmers Market

[loracs]

Today in the plaza a film crew was shooting a commerial for Kaiser. The set was a farmers market. I am sure it's more of their "Thrive" healthy lifestyle campaign. I took my usual late lunch and then sat outside, read my book, and watched them shoot it. I was lucky enough to be there when they ended. All of a sudden, people are streaming into the area picking out produce and pulling out money. It was some really, really, beautiful food - obviously it was for da movies, but it was also organic. I got lots of cherries (very sweet), cucumbers, tomatoes, dandelion greens, string beans and a really gorgeous mix of interesting mushrooms. One type looks like little brains or sea sponges. I think I'm going to use them as a main course tonight for dinner. Lightly saute them in a little butter, garlic and salt. Steam the greens. Make a cucumber/tomato salad. I'll leave a few brown button mushrooms out for a regular salad for stonebender, since he doesn't like cukes or matoes. Maybe a quite trip to pick up a loaf of sourdough bread.

Any other ideas for the mushrooms besides the simple saute?

Now I hope I don't get home and find I'm too tired to do any of this good cooking.
