unbibiumEarlier today I rode down to the Guadalupe Farmer's Market.
I get the feeling it's the place white people from Ahwatukee go when they want to feel adventurous. It's family-run, as the cashier's father seemed to be running the place, but the cashier herself speaks with the tiniest hint of a California valley-girl accent.
Regardless, there's a nice assortment of produce there. Red bell peppers are 59 cents there, where they're like $1.99 everywhere else. And it seems they have all manner of unique foodstuffs with the store's name on the label -- you can get dried fruit, mango salsa, or peach cobbler in a jar, all with a Guadalupe Farmer's Market label. I wonder if they just buy all that stuff wholesale somewhere and apply their own labels to it.
They also sell that cactus candy that seems to be made specifically for tourists. I'd have bought some, but the friend I have coming from out of town will be returning to New Zealand, so she can't take food with her. I do know she got a kick out of those gummi jalapeños I brought her two years ago.
