The Adventures of A & M: Bury Bury Bury

So the produce at the commissary is TERRIBLE!!! Literally you buy a tomato and the next day it is rotten. Or if you want to make guacamole and you look for avocados they are florescent green and cost $1.70 a piece!!! So needless to say I haven't made much guac. And we LOVE guacamole. sad...but since this is a common complaint (the poor quality of produce) people let us know about a great street market that happens every Wednesday and Saturday in Bury St. Edmunds. By the way its really difficult to type with a bandaged finger. I sliced open my finger last night when I was opening a can of cream of mushroom soup. Luckily my own private EMT was home and he had me fixed up in no time. :) But back to Bury St. Edmunds, we decided to give this market a try. So we drove 30 minutes to the historical district and parked in front of the Angel Hotel and walked up the alleyway past lots of cute shops to their market.

What the market looks like.

I am so glad we went!! They had loads of fresh produce that was super cheap (or the guy miscalculated). We bought 3 small pkgs of strawberries, 4 avocados, 3 apples and 3 pears for 4.55 pounds. We were very pleased. Also we decided to try some cheese from a cheeseman. We bought some Brie and a different type of Swiss. They were so weird tasting and we accidentally bought huge chunks of it and it was NOT cheap. :( We basically ate a bite of each cheese and tossed them. We bought some beautiful bread from a baker. We bought rosemary and olive oil foccacia and a hearty multigrain bread. The foccacia was delicious and the multigrain bread was...blah. After our shopping we ate at a lovely italian restaurant, Prezzo. Yum!! Ty had his first experience sitting in a highchair and he loved it!! But he also liked eating and ripping up the napkins, stealing my silverware, getting his hands in my pasta and trying to eat my menu. He is a busy boy.
