Thanks for all the Photoshop troubleshooting guys! I finally got it figured out, whew!

@ Tenise Rae – haha, I was wondering what “auto food porn” was!

@ Valerie – Yep, the PSU market. I don’t know the name of the kimchee peeps but I’ll make sure and check this Saturday. If I forget to come back here and tell you, just drop me a line in this weeks FFF. =)

@ erosan – Mmmm, leeks are SO GOOD, I always forget how amazingly good they are.

@ Janine – It’s the Saturday market at PSU. It is life-changing in its awesomeness!!!

Oh wow. I wish there was such a vibrant farmers market here. I guess I’m way to much north for chard and radishes to grow locally this time of year though, but it sure does looks amazing. Love your pictures!

I must say I am soooo jelous of your farmers market!! I wish I lived in Portland! We just don’t have this here in the burbs. I’m sure there is something in Philly, but out here just the supermarkets. We were thinking of joining a CSA at a organic farm nearby but didn’t have the $$. Oh well maybe next year.

Thankfully the area I live in (Seacoast of New Hampshire) the local food movement is alive and well so I have access to farmer’s markets year round. I love it! I’ve even started volunteering at the markets, helping farmers bring their product in and setup. Great way to get to know the local food people.
Glad your market has started, our spring ones start in May. I’m ready for some more variety and an outdoor venue!

I can’t BELIEVE how big Waits is getting… it just hit me with that picture, that face, all those teeth ;) Man.

Still waiting for ours… May :( Although City Market here is year round, it’s, eh, not really entirely “local.”

I adore your blog and your attitude!! :)
I am impatiently waiting-here in the Midwest-for MY beloved farmers market to open….
Being 1/2 Korean myself-I was thrilled to see Kimchi at your market! YUM!!!!

Nom nom nom! Those crackers look awesome!

If your original pics are humongo, try using the bicubic sharper option (drop-down box at the bottom of the image size pop-up) when resizing. Use Save for Web instead of Save As, then choose Medium or higher compression quality (drop-down at top of pop-up). You can also try different resampling methods (Quality drop-down at the bottom right of pop-up). And to make things even more confusing, it may just be the difference between color profiles in iPhoto and Photoshop. Confused yet??? :P
