GATHERING Boston: Haymarket Expedition on...

Join me and other Gather members from Boston for an evening of foodie adventures! We'll kick off MLK weekend with a sweep of the oldest open air produce market in the country, Boston's Haymarket.

I'll help navigate for any first timers to Haymarket.

After we sweep the market for seasonal goodies, let's grab a beverage and chat about our favorite restaurants, kitchen toys, and cooking ideas.

Maybe we'll improvise some new recipes from the elements of our hauls -- and blog about them all weekend!

Meet at 5:30pm in the lobby of the Millenium Hotel at 25 North Street, right at Faneuil Market (Government Center on the Green Line).

Drop a comment at the bottom of this article to RSVP so I know you're coming.

Gee, I would love to come, Shava. But the airfare from Orange, California is a bit too much for a weekend caper.
I hope you all have a blast!

Great idea Shava. I might be heading out of town that night but if not, I will definitely come along.

I plan to be there, but only if I can bring my triskaidekaphobia. (I promise to bring enough for everyone.

Never fear Sensai Tony. We'll trick you out in garlic, silver bullets, hypnotism (have you heard of the Mad Russian over in Brookline?), whatever it takes to rid you of this phobia. You're in illustrious company, although you may think otherwise. Fellow triskaidekaphobes include Herbert Hoover, Napoleon, Mark Twain, Richard Wagner, and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

One step at a time. I've just got over my arachibutyrophobia.

And when you started talking about 'illustrious company', I thought you were referring to Shava, Lisa, youself and Bert (in spirit). Who are those other guys?

Arachibutyrophobia! That's a good one. Don't you have an allergy to peanuts? Lol. I fear that I underestimated you. We'll see how good your obscure produce knowledge is when we get to Haymarket. :)

Well, I do not suffer from phronemophobia or epistemophobia. But if you must know, I suffer from sesquipedalophobia. Whew! Took me a while to spell that one.
