Our farmer's market opened last weekend with NO fresh produce. I still got some fresh Asiago bread, lemon chive angel hair pasta, and kettle corn (my annual indulgence). Oh, and some local honey.
That's insane troll logic!

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm having a recurrence of the Thrush I got when Emmett was little.
Further research indicates Thrush is just a Candida Yeast infection in my mouth and alimentary canal but it really sucks.
So I've been making myself anti-yeast salads - with Greek yogurt, five cloves of raw garlic finely minced, chopped tomato, cucumbers (no skin), fresh squeezed lemon juice, chopped fresh spinach, green onion, salt and dill.
Apparently the raw garlic and raw onion are natural anti-fungals. It tastes good but I can tell my mouth is a little "hot" with garlic now.
Making myself tea with fresh ginger in it next.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
I'm not opposed to non-pharmaceutical treatments (hello, brewing my own kombucha for a year now, like the crazy hippie I am), but thrush/yeastiness *does* really suck, like you said. Can you go to a Minute Clinic (or whatever similar doc-in-a-box is in your neck of the woods) and get a prescription for Diflucan? It is 100% awesome. It's not just for ladyparts yeast infections -- yeast is yeast is yeast, and whatever nice warm body part it decides to take up residence in, it SUCKS.
But also -- plain yogurt is good for thrush.

I'm calling my doctor today so I'll request this!

DO EEET. Don't take no for an answer.
But yogurt is nice, too. (Seriously, though: only plain yogurt, because the Candida will make a meal out of the sugar in fruit yogurt. Learn from my mistakes.)

There is one woman with a green house that is usually there, so there should be some early produce, as well as bread, goat cheese, and possibly some meats.

Yeah, I just did plain Greek yogurt.
Got an appt for 2pm. Hoping I'll be gobbling Diflucan by 3:30.

Speaking of candida....
The latest WTF??? web ad I keep seeing (and I see so many) is an ad that's supposedly about how you might have a candida infection RIGHT NOW! And here's "one weird trick" to find out, or fight it, or whatever (seriously, how did the phrase "x weird tricks" become the current snake-oil sales phrase of the web?).
What makes the ad so incredibly WTF??? is that is has a picture, not of a candida infection, or of something in a petri dish.
It's a picture of a baby friggin' xenomorph just after it has burst out of John Hurt's chest in the first Alien movie.
