Barter for Life


At the end of the market I always trade with other vendors for my food for the week. Last Saturday I traded some of my raw chocolate and one of the sprout salads for this cache of cukes! They were incredible. I pickled half of them with some ripe chili peppers from my neighbors front yard, caraway seeds, fennel which I also bartered for and alaea salt from Hawaii. The rest were used in gazpacho: The abundance of tomatoes in my yard and my neighbors has allowed me to make gazpacho a daily treat for the past two weeks!
