It's hard to believe that I live only about 1 mile from one of the best and most affordable farmer's markets in the city, and I had not visited! <a href="http://sfgsa.org/index.aspx?page=1058">Alemany</a> hosts a farmer's market as well as a flea market; that's next on my list! But, that all changed at 6:30 this morning. The girls at <a href="www.missionpie.com">Mission Pie </a>have developed a weekly habit of arriving early on Saturday to ensure a good parking spot. While there, it's easy to cart away several cases of peaches from Regier Family Farm in Dinuba. A quick stroll around also guarantees ingredients for savory pot pies and treasures for the home kitchen.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0mNacsCO8PI/TEsoPl2Za0I/AAAAAAAAAX8/odCyhieB-SI/s1600/alemany+breakfast+021.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0mNacsCO8PI/TEsoPl2Za0I/AAAAAAAAAX8/odCyhieB-SI/s320/alemany+breakfast+021.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497532018459241282" /></a><br />Ben was, of course, still sleeping when I returned. I decided to surprise him with a country-style breakfast made from market goodies. Wookie, our new cat, made himself comfortable at the table. Sorry, buddy, blueberries aren't for wookies.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0mNacsCO8PI/TEsoPBUPObI/AAAAAAAAAX0/L5Kr12eT8Sk/s1600/alemany+breakfast+033.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0mNacsCO8PI/TEsoPBUPObI/AAAAAAAAAX0/L5Kr12eT8Sk/s320/alemany+breakfast+033.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497532008652290482" /></a><br />Morning can't start without coffee. So,I put together something that felt a little bit more luxurious than our normal routine: french press brewed from <a href="http://taylormaidfarms.com/">Taylor Maid's</a> goat rock.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0mNacsCO8PI/TEsoOpM4tYI/AAAAAAAAAXs/s7LrnNy_MJc/s1600/alemany+breakfast+029.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0mNacsCO8PI/TEsoOpM4tYI/AAAAAAAAAXs/s7LrnNy_MJc/s320/alemany+breakfast+029.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497532002179003778" /></a><br />While the produce was amazing, I have to admit that I was most impressed with the poached duck eggs. All the rumors that you have heard about fresh eggs - be they duck or chicken - are 100 percent true. It was like nothing I've ever had before but something I plan to have again.
