Farmer's Market

A farmer 's Market is held every Wednesday & Saturday near my house. Today I went and bought some fresh vegetables and eggs. I bought some fresh garlic too. I discovered that garlic is now in season.

My mum makes garlic soy source. She often told me that if I make it, I should buy garlic grown in Tago, Aomori prefecture which is very expensive. ( It costs about $4 a head. ) When I was in Japan, my mum gave me some of her garlic soy source.... :-)

Anyway, I found a big, fresh head of garlic at a very reasonable price at the Farmer's Market and made my own garlic soy source. It is very useful to use for chinese, BBQ and stir fry.

I got some fresh apricots from the supermarket!!! Fresh apricots are quite difficult to find in Japan. Dried apricots are more common.
I also like fresh figs. I could get them in London, but I can't find them here.
