Not even sure if Donut girl is the right name, but since a woman in her 20's is almost always there when I've stopped by and and her tip jar says "donut girl's college fund" I'm going with it. There is a cute little donut maker running with the donuts floating to one end of the machine. They get 1 star on the nostalgia factor from me. reminds me of the cider mill donut places my parents took me in Michigan when I was a kid. So of course I get the cinnamon and sugar ones to complete the trip down nostalgia lane. They are always fresh and hot and yummy. And for $2 for 6 you can pretend they are not bad for you! She has other toppings and some good lemonade. Next time you are at the red barn and want something sweet, give this place a try.

This weekend we got mango, pineapple, and watermelon. A few months from now the fruit cup probably won't include mango, nor should it. But whatever it is, the plastic quart container will be full of deliciousness. You can sprinkle on some salt if you like, and there's also chili powder (salt, cayenne, and maybe other flavors). I declined both offers. After I tasted the chili powder, however, the guy running the truck poured me a pseudo-horchata (I think it might have just been mostly sweetened condensed milk with water) for free as a lagniappe. I think the expression on my face told him I could use a drink to wash that stuff down. The address is an approximation so that you can find it with a navigation app or a GPS. Just look in the parking lot of the former service station on US 41 at 30th Avenue. If he's there, you're in for a treat.

For a few weeks now I've noticed a yellow taco truck in Oneco along state road 70 that I hadn't…read moretried yet. Took care of that this weekend. But it isn't really a taco wago, the name says it all "Pupuseria el puerto La Union". This place has some yummy pupusa. THey have their menu arranged in "numbers" where you can order a set thing for a set price. For example, I got the set of three chorizo tacos for $5. The options are clearly posted on the side of the truck with some pretty good pictures. WE got what we saw in the pictures. I didn't trust my lame high school/pod cast Spanish trying to order anything fancy, as it might be nice to get one or two pupusa and a taco rather than the set plates they hare set up. We got an order of pupusa and order of the chorizo tacos. I seriously enjoyed the pupusa. I have not had many to compare to but having this as an option in the area is great. WE got three lovely corn/masa cakes stuffed with cheese and a bit of chicken. The corn was light and tasty with a good crust from the flat top on them. The bites with the cheese were supper yummy and making me want for more. They came with a cabbage salad, red salsa, and a pickled jalapeno. You get 3 for $6, which is a deal in my mind. The green salsa that came with the tacos was a bit better than the red salsa and I put some of that on the pupusa and was very happy. Also some of the juice from the picked jalapeno added some nice acid/zing to them to cut the cheese a bit. The chorizo tacos were good, but nothing outrageous. Good tortillas, plenty of cillantro and onion. A bit of spicy green salsa on the side and you are set to go. Although some of the chorizo was a bit over done and you ended up with hard bits it had a good flavor. Some of you might like the hard bits of chorizo but seemed a bit odd to me as the rest was perfectly fine. I'll be back to try more pupusa and to check out their other goodies. The woman who was running it when we were there was friendly and happy to put up with two gringos mangaling Spanish. If you are interested in some yummy new street food treats go give this little yellow truck a try.

The Sarasota Farmers Market is a year-round, Saturday morning market in downtown Sarasota,…read morefeaturing local produce, prepared foods, and artisan goods from over 70 vendors. It runs from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. & serves as a community hub with live music, offering everything from fresh fruits and baked goods to handmade crafts and international foods, while supporting local farms & businesses. I left with bags of beautiful tomatoes, Romaine, bananas, zucchini... the artisan, breads, and pastries were as beautiful as the flowers. Happily the farmers market discounts foods 50% with EBT card . We passed lots of beautiful dogs.

The market opens early and is probably at its busiest at around 9 am or a little after. There is a wide diversity of stores from those selling fruits and vegetables to those selling flowers, bread, honey, and even local farmed salt from long boat key. There are also numerous food and coffee stalls and generally a really good atmosphere. Prices are a bit higher than what you would pay at somewhere like Whole Foods, but almost everything is organic or locally sourced and you can find some unique items. I love Wardens vegetable market the most as they always have good local organic produce. Also autumn and winter are probably the best time to visit the market.

I decided I wasn't in the area much so made a u-turn to check it out. Hours showed one thing and was informed 12-7 pm, Wednesday through Saturday. I usually get Jamaican food from a spot near the airport but figured why not. I ordered the pulled pork with Cuban rice and ribs with red beans and rice. They both came out aromatic. The Cuban rice had no flavor my spouse said having tried it for the first time. The ribs were about a 6-7 rating, as a lot of bone and I couldn't let my toddler eat them without pulling each piece apart. The red beans were sparse on top of the rice and nothing to get too excited about. The pulled pork was good and the little one enjoyed it. I would give this place another try, if I'm out that way and would get something different. I will say the food truck did look very clean.
