Greetings from Findlay Market

Summer season is in full swing at Findlay Market!  The Farmers Market now boasts fresh summer vegetables and flowers.  The planting season was slow to get started due to heavy rains.  Now, fruits of our farmers’ labor abound.  Worrying about buying tomatoes and other items that could be salmonella tainted?  Stop out to the farm shed and talk with the farmers.  They can tell you exactly how they plant and protect their crops.  Eat locally, know how your food was grown and support local farmers and businesses!

I take photos of food the way some people take photos of their kids. Every new dish I make or eat is recorded for future blogging purposes, and my boyfriend is now trained to pause before digging in when we sit down to dinner or are served at a restaurant.

Sometimes, however, food is so good that I simply forget to bring out the camera. Friday night was one of those cases.

Emanu, the much-anticipated East African/Ethiopian restaurant, in Pleasant Ridge has opened. Get there soon–because as soon as the word gets out, this place is going to be packed!

Read on to find out what’s going on with your favorite local businesses.
