After we taped the Friday Roundtable, I asked the panelists what we should pick up at the farmer's market this weekend.

Stephanie Meyer recommends morels.

Amy Thielen says to buy dandelion greens if you can find them.

Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl's a fan of rhubarb:

Here's what you can do with rhubarb. I like to cook it down. Get a giant batch and just cook it down to the smallest amount of sugar and then strain it. And then you get rhubarb liquid and then use that for cocktails or a rhubarb lemonade. It's easy.
