Chinatown Markets
I think I first fell in love with open markets and farmers' markets during several brief trips to Vietnam. In Saigon, they were the only places to buy food. Since then, we've always tracked down the best markets, no matter where we've lived. When it comes to freshness, quality and price, farmers' markets generally beat the socks off supermarkets. In fact, if there were a Grocery Deathmatch Smackdown, your $supermarket_chain wouldn't last Round One against a decent farmers' market.
This morning, Toshi and I hit the Chinatown markets for tomorrow's dinner, and captured a few images at the same time. If this were within walking distance, we'd be here every day.

Dear Alan:
We are preparing a cookbook as part of the celebration of our church's 100th anniversary this November. May we have your permission to use your daikon photo in our cookbook? (We will be selling the cookbook locally.)
If yes, we will be sure to give you proper credit in the cookbook.
Thank you for considering our request.
