I went to Gossett's Farm Market in South Salem, New York today. It was a cute little market. The big hit for me was the great variety of pickles from Pickle Licious. I picked up a variety of pickles, sauerkraut, gardinaria and olives.

Today I stopped into Nonna's Table to check out what famous Chef Ron Suhanosky was up to. Nonna's Table is the perfect little shop tucked away on East 92nd Street. There were delicious breads, meatballs, fresh pasta, olives, cookies, cakes, soups, cured meats, cheeses and a variety of delicious Italian provisions for sale. I picked up a loaf of focaccia bread, marinated olives, Ron’s homemade meatballs and pasta. I also had Ron choose a half a dozen assorted cookies that his mother makes twice a week (thanks for the extra cookie you slipped in the bag!). Everything looks delicious. Can’t wait to feast tonight.
Stop by Nonna’s Table if you are in the neighborhood. If you’re not in the neighborhood make an effort to get there. You won’t be sorry.

Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo (the fifth of May) has become a lively and fun commemoration of Mexican culture. The history behind Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican war (1861-1867). Cinco de Mayo is a relatively minor holiday in Mexico. In the United States Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations. Cinco de Mayo traditions include parades, mariachi music performances and street festivals in cities and towns across Mexico and the United States.
I love that you can get lobster from a truck on the streets of New York City!
