We started our holiday weekend with a Saturday morning trip to the Mill City Farmers' Market. It went on Nick's list after reading several local blog postings last week about the soft-shelled crab sandwich being served at the Chef Shack. Nick LOVES soft-shelled crabs as I think it instantly transports him back to happy days spent in Baltimore growing up. This one apparently did not disappoint. My excitement involved finally finding a Datura/Thornapple/Jimsonweed/Moonflower (take your pick!) plant for the yard. I love the large, tropical-looking white flowers and the fact that it blooms all summer. I know it has hallucinogenic properties when cooked and ingested (and apparently so did a lot of the people at the market, as it was quite a conversation starter!) but Datura is one thing that will NOT be on the menu at our house this summer!
