haha, must look funny to be walking around talking to a camera sniffing different things in the market.

Nah Elliott. My daughter and I do it all the time. We call it a smell-fest.

gerber daisies, not gerber babies

I’m pretty sure my nose is broken, but this idea can be applied to most skills. I’m just starting to get into photography, and always keep an open eye, even if I don’t have my camera with me.

Nice Gary. I will have to do that the next time I’m at the farmers market in town. We have one just down the street from me… amazing caramel apples in the fall!

My husband and I need to do that…head out to the farmer’s market this weekend to work on the sniffy-sniff
July 31st, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Wow, people must have thought you a bit odd. But it was NYC so it could be normal.

must be an old video… lots of hair.

Building the old sniffy sniff is a great thing.
Just walking around the yard earlier and smelled some fennel, some unripened blackberries, and unfortunately I caught a whiff of the barnyard - yes, a little POOP CITY from a rabbit!!
Good stuff Gary.

Markets might be even better than going out into the wild because: 1) You’ll be able to identify what you’re smelling, 2) You’ll get goods from more than one small area of the world, and 3) You won’t get eaten by ticks!

BAAH, gary cut the amateur hour stuff and get your keester UPSTATE! Dont you know we always keep the best for ourselves? On the farm, you can smell the farm and the terrior, and you get to shake the hand that feeds you (YOU DO want to meet everybody in the world right? start with our regional food and wine world).

I was just trying some vino today, and I was thinking that exact question: “How can Gary pick up on so many things!?”
Thanks Gary! I’ll definitely work harder to train my nose, now that I know.

Grew up helping my parents and a neighbor sell sweet corn, peppers, and tomatoes at market so this is one of my favorite things to do. Some of the produce vendors also have samples of some of the fruits and veggies they have to offer which also remind me of a part of this or that wine I had at one point.
Also helped growing up in a family of great cooks who made it a point to go to markets like this because you most likely were friends with or knew the seller, their family, the land they farmed and it was usually picked fresh that morning or the afternoon before at the earliest.
One guy sells catfish he raises at the market here, and usually has samples that are either smoked or simply seasoned and grilled right there. One of the wines I had a few days after sampling his fish made me wish I had bought more than just the one I got to grill that night after hitting the market.

Good lesson on building your smell recognition but actually a better lesson on how to BE AWARE of your surroundings. How many areas in life can we take advantage to build our knowledge base FOR FREE!
As usual Gary, nice work.

Gary, you’re so much fun to watch!!! Your face expressions, humor and the way you deliver are priceless!!! Thank you for making me laugh.
