Knives are for losers.

Farmer's Market Peppers (x two different types) plus Farmer's Market Onions and Garlic.

Mashing stuff up is fun.
And juicy!
Have I mentioned there are three Saturday Markets. One with lots of produce and flowers (though 85% of the folks at the stalls are of Asian heritage which leaves me to question - are they the only ones capable of growing a sufficient quantity of veggies in Missoula??? Is there an Asian produce cartel??? Is it all just an odd coincidence??? Is the entire market funded by one large, Asian owned farm and the multiple stalls are just a way to assuage our capitalist need to feel like we've bought from the "better" supplier???), the next one - near the Adventure Cycling headquaters - is more a craft fair with log furniture, organic cosmetics, beeswax candles and the like, and the last one, Down By The River is the oddest of all, part produce, part product, they have Montana grown meat for sale in large coolers, regionally caught fish, some personal care items, with live music and this weird pet expo going on right next door...

and then, since the markets are all essentially in one line, at the north of downtown, right in the middle, and then at the south end, a bunch of musicians and a few odd vendors (read fresh doughnuts) set up along the path people walk from one to the next so downtown is this huge swarm of people every Saturday morning.
