  Every Saturday morning during the summer months, my husband and I ride our bikes along the Mississippi River from Saint Paul to downtown Minneapolis. Our destination is the Mill City Farmers Market, founded in 2006 to promote local, sustainable, and organic agriculture. During the early 1900's, Minneapolis led U.S. cities in flour production with 18 flour mills near St. Anthony Falls on the Mississippi River. Mill City Farmers Market overlooks the falls and is nestled between the Mill City Museum and the new Guthrie Theater.  the Guthrie Theater    I feel the same way about this farmers market as I do about France -- it's hard to take a bad photo when there is so much beauty.

Eileen...you're pictures of Mill City reminded me of our many short and extended trips to Minneapolis for Cindy's transplant and treatments. We used the Gold Medal sign and the Metrodome to find our way from Fairview, Townplace Suites,and taking the right exit off I-35.(Taking the wrong one is another long saga.) I enjoy your pics and stories. I haven't been brave enough to try the recipes, but some remind me of eating at your house with Susan many years ago. Please keep things going.
