We took a trip over to Somerton, AZ today to the farmer's market. Last week at the Yuma Farmer's Market, Annabell, the lady who sells home made salsa, told us about the Somerton market. We bought some wonderful tomatoes at the Yuma market and the guy was from Somerton so we thought he might be there today.
We got to the market and saw Annabell but the guy with the tomatoes was not there. There was produce but none of it looked exceptional. Several of the women from a booth for Breast Cancer Awareness told us we must eat at the Main Street Cafe as they used all local produce and it was wonderful food.
We walked over to the cafe and they had a wine tasting bar on the outside patio. We sampled several wines and talked to three young men that were locals. They told us to order the Tlayulas, which they said was like a Mexican Pizza with chorizo cheese and was very different. We went in and got a table and ordered the Tlayulas and while waiting also had a cup of meatball soup. The soup was wonderful and had pieces of fresh vegetables and wonderful seasoned broth. When our Tlayulas came it was so very good. It was like a crisp tortilla crust with very nicely seasoned hamburger, chicken, cheese and lots of lettuce, onion and thin slices of avacado. I'm sure Leslie would love this place! She took me to Delavan, IL before we left home for my birthday lunch at a place much like this little cafe. When we were finished with lunch the waitress asked if we would like sherbert or koukla. I choose the Koukla and it came in a tall shot glass with a bit of cream on top. It was perfect as an after dinner treat.
We came back to Yuma and stopped at the mall for a short time before coming home. When we got home Dan and Wanda came over for our nightly 'happy hour'.
