One of my most favorite things about summers in Boston is the Farmer's Market that pops up by my office in Dewey Square on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Running from May through right before Thanksgiving, the plaza on the Greenway features fresh produce from local farms (Kimball Fruit Farm is my fave), pasture-raised meat, caught-that-morning seafood, and delicious baked goods from places like When Pigs Fly and the Swiss Bakers. That amazing-looking pretzel roll, above, is from the latter. Swiss Bakers have spots at farmer's markets all across Boston during the summer, and just opened another location (in addition to their original spot in Reading) in Allston. Check them out, if possible. This bread is worth the journey.
It was a scorcher this past weekend, resulting in lots of (kiddie) pool time, frosty beverages, cranking air conditioners and hot, hot dogs.
Even when it is a miserable, sweltering, almost-hundred degree day, I am still thankful for my most favorite season. There's just something to be said for long days, warm nights, and growing plants.
A little late-night, backyard skinny dipping never hurts, either.
