Radishes Anyone?

This weekend included another trip to the farmer’s market. I mentioned before that the farmer’s market is my favorite lunch time errand. I would like to add to that. I also like it a whole lot more when it’s a lunch time errand. When I go on Saturday’s, it feels more like a chore, rather than a nice break from the day. And there are so many people there. I still got some good stuff.

I stocked up on sweet potatoes and radishes. They’re pretty huh?

Now I must admit, I’d never in my life purchased either of these. Sweet potatoes were easy. Anything you can do with a regular potato, you can do with a sweet potato. But the radish was different. I wasn’t even exactly sure what a radish tasted like. But they were so darn pretty and at only $1 a bunch, I couldn’t help trying them. I think Josh described it best. They’re kind of like biting into a garden. Some people say they might taste “healthy.” Either way, I bought them and now I’m trying to find interesting ways to use them. Adding them to my salad was easy, but I also added them to my grilled cheese sandwich for a little extra crunch and I must say. It wasn’t bad. But then again, anything covered in cheese is good in my book.

So, how about it? Does anyone have any interesting radish uses?
