Everything looks fresh and delicious! I wonder when the prices will stop increasing? Everything keeps going up and up! The peaches that you show off look delectable! Maybe they are nectarines! I think they are.

Pears are near the top of my fruit list! I love them because when they are ripe, they are sweet, yet a little bit grainy to give them more texture. Yummy. For sure. I also love figs and have several (4) trees. Those are just nature's best. I wonder if they charge more for hot pepper as they have more flavor. :))

Tomatoes and bananas? Not even the same! That is funny about throwing a tomato on the street, but, you are right! Two weeks!

I want to welcome you to #MarketFriday and thank you for being a part of the #MarketFriday Challenge. I have personally found there is always so much to learn about people, where they live, and how things are done in different parts of the world. For me, reaching out across the globe and learning about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, has been such a rewarding experience. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the rituals, festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... and what is normal for us? There 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. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. We do differ in many ways, which makes us interesting and unique, but, there are many ways in which are so much alike.

Fridays are all about the #MarketFriday Challenge! Looking to take part in it? Here is how:
