Attention Ohio locals:
Anyone know where I can source about 4 pounds of Damson plums within an hour’s drive of Columbus? There’s a Zwetschgenkuchen (Traditional German Plum Cake) with my name all over it, if only I could find the plums I need.
First one to find me what I need gets half the cake hand-delivered to you by a grateful Columbus Foodie. 
Finally a break in the heat wave, not that it’s doing us much good here since our air conditioning is broken. I’m about ready to spend the rest of the weekend sleeping in the car if we can’t get an emergency service call this weekend. So, the trip out to the farmer’s market this morning was a blessed distraction, since it involved a considerable amount of shade, semi-low humidity, and a nice little breeze, even thought it was hot otherwise.
We started our trip with a quick trip to the North Market. Since I had such a hard time choosing pictures this week, click on through if you’d like to hear about what I saw and what I got.
Sending out a big happy birthday to my sister Maurya, who turns 28 today.
Here’s to a wonderful day (and year), and many more to come!
