Thurs. Night Market in Dallas

Although I miss the regular contact I had with the farmers in NC, Dallas has a Thurs and Sunday Night Wholesale Farmers Market where anyone can buy produce in bulk from local and regional farmers at a discount price. The only drawback are the hours of operation - midnight to 7am next morning! Now if you own a restaurant business, these hours are perfect. But, if you are nodding by 9pm like me, its a problem. This is going to take a lot of effort on my part to make this 15 minute trip downtown to the market. Brother K is going along (for added protection) but he ain't happy! Tonight I hope to buy either some cucumbers for Bread & Butter Pickles and Cinnamon Cucumber Rings or yellow squash for Hot and Mild Squash Pickles.
My "sweet" menu has changed a little Tarheels. Cowboys like sweet heat. As the OJays song goes, "Got to give the people what they want".
