RE: My Market Friday

This is the best way to buy! Local markets always have the best prices and the produce that is sold helps to boost the local economy. I love lingonberries and didn't get any this year yet. Maybe another week before they are ready. Cranberries will come out of the bogs in another month. Who doesn't love berries, right? I like to make jelly or jam out of them, and I have an abundance of apples, pears, and peaches this year - also tomatoes. I came from a family of nine kids, so we always put food up for the winter. Old habits die hard and I have always put some of my fresh-grown away for the winter. It simply tastes better. :) Plus, I don't want to waste the things my grandmother and mother taught me. I canned some peaches and made some applesauce to put away already. The pears are ready put away for the winter months and I need to make some spaghetti sauce with the leftover tomatoes.

You just made me tired Olga! :)

You made a wonderful #MarketFriday! Thank you! It was fun going through your town. The man probably didn't want to look like he had cheap carpets, that is why he took the sign down. :) Maybe he thought people would misunderstand if only he knew most of them cannot read Russian. #MarketFriday has evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages. Along with the fact of what is normal for where you live? These are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue.
