63. Eat global at Your DeKalb Farmers Market

The distinct tang in the market’s air may initially wallop the senses, but it also ushers customers into a thrilling cornucopia of ingredients from around the globe. Live crabs, exotic produce, grass-fed beef tenderloin from the butcher, fresh apple-lemon bread from the bakery, wines from around the world—all of it sells for cheaper than you’d expect. Come in comfortable shoes, and stop by the international buffet (we love the samosas and lasagna) when the hunger pangs strike. dekalbfarmersmarket.com

Before my wife and I were married nine years ago, we met for an afternoon with the minister who would officiate at the wedding. My wife was raised Episcopalian, while I grew up Catholic—Irish Catholic, to be precise, which means I’m very stubborn about my guilt. At any rate, Christy and I had decided to get married in her hometown church, which is Episcopalian. If you’re Catholic and go to an Episcopal service for the first time, it feels very familiar, like running into an old friend who recently had a haircut. Of course, that’s just my opinion. To some stalwart Catholics, a more apt analogy is that an Episcopal service is like running into an old friend’s twin—they may look alike, but they’re fundamentally distinct.

For far too many years of my early adolescence in upstate New York I was a paperboy. Do they have those anymore? I mean, the kind who stow papers in a bag slung over a shoulder, as opposed to the backseat of a car? Anyway, every week I’d knock on the doors of my customers so they could pay their bill, which was one dollar and ten cents. In the winter, the old widows would invite me in to stand on their plastic carpet runners while they vanished into the kitchen. I’d hear chairs move, jars clink, keys turn. I’d stand there, the slush on my boots melting, the ceramic cows on the shelf eyeing me suspiciously. Finally my customers would reemerge, clutching one dollar bill and one quarter (thank you for the tip), and explain that if it weren’t for the obituaries, they wouldn’t bother. “It’s just not what it used to be,” they’d say.

In the eleven years I’ve been a resident of our great state, I’ve held the perception that Georgia is full of people like me—nonnatives. All you need to do is go to the Falcons-Saints game every year at the Georgia Dome, where you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a New Orleans fan. I have to conclude that they didn’t all make the drive from Louisiana—that most of them probably live right here. This argument, that Georgia is full of people from somewhere else, is trotted out all the time when we try to explain the tepid support for our major sports teams. People may move here, but they don’t move their allegiances.
