It must have been an oversight because I truly meant to blog about a trip I recently made with aforementioned friend to the Farmer's Market at the corner of Dam Neck Road and Princess Anne Road.
I've seen a lot of new construction going up across the street which is okay (could've been better with a Trader Joe's imho). Since there isn't scheduled to be a Trader Joe's, I'll be wishy washy on the whole new shopping center subject.
There's a cute little cafe 'THe PRiNCeSS aNNe CouNTY GRiLL'there that serves a nice little breakfast in the morning with blue plate specials (don't you just love that diner lingo?) for lunch and dinner. The servings are a good size and fitting in dessert is a challenge. I've had the biscuits and gravy there for breakfast and since that visit have had their house burger. The tea was sweet.(A REQUIREMENT in my book for a place to be 'deemed' good. Sorry, 'the sugar's on the table line doesn't work with me) :o) A cute little place and definitely popular among the locals with clearly some 'regulars' keeping the place hoppin'.
Just behind is a candy shop promising 'sweet addictions' THe CaNDY BaRN that just opened this year and I wanted to mention that because they have some delicious looking desserts in their cases. Buckeye's, chocolate covered Twinkies and pretzels along with a myriad of other sweet treats fill the bakery cases and boy do they all look good! Here are some photos I took with the point and shoot. I haven't been back to take more but you get the point :o) Doesn't this look like a place you would want to take your family?
There's also a butcher in the marketplace that sells a dry aged beef that is pretty good and various veggie stands. There's also a Yoder's Dairy with a full case of different ice creams and one called 'apple pie' ice cream! 'I scream you scream, we all scream FOR ICE CREAM!' No pictures of this, sorry. You'll just have to go there and buy a half gallon of it prepacked. YUMM! Think I'll head there myself! I feel another blog coming on...
Anyway...check out the Farmer's market there. When you step out of your car, I guarantee you'll feel like you've just slowed time down. Relax a while and take time to smell the flowers :o)
