I've been shopping at farmers' markets (in Carrboro, NC and Charleston, SC) for years, but this spring I am going to try a CSA for the first time. It's tough to choose just one, though! We have found one that offers a wide variety of great produce (figs, field peas, okra, Meyer lemons, etc.) but one with more standard offerings (zucchini, corn, tomatoes, etc.) that allows you to assemble your own box at their farm stand. I don't know which to choose, but I guess that's a nice dilemma to have. :)

Most recently, I ate at Bottega, Highland's, and the Hot and Hot Fish Club, all in Birmingham, all in less than 24 hours. It almost made the trip to Birmingham worthwhile!

An everything bagel with plenty of cream cheese!

On a baguette slice with Manchego, butter, fig jam, black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil - yum! I found the recipe on the last page of a Gourmet issue, and it's been one of my favorite's ever since.
