Farmers’ Market and the 24 Heures du Mans

June 13, 2010 |

As I drink my morning coffee, we still have 6 1/2 hours of the 24 Heures du Mans left to watch.  We need to get  this race watched because this afternoon there is a F1 race airing from Montreal.  Yesterday, we had to get up and go.  We wanted to go to the Athens Farmers’ Market and not get too far behind on the Le Mans race, which had an 8:30am start.

I wanted to make some French food in honor of the race.  When I saw that The Veggie Patch had heirloom tomatoes, I decided to make a tomato tart .  I was inspired by a recent David Lebovitz post about a French picnic.  There is a new bread vendor at the market.  Miche always has a table full of gorgeous bread.  So, I thought I would make Croque Madame.  This would also showcase the wonderful farm fresh eggs from Greendale farms
