   Saturday Morning Delight: My drive from DC to 'B'more is in anticipation of visiting the raw oyster bar located in the Lexington Market. Ice packed, and shucked before your eyes, oysters and clams abound. Using juice from freshly sliced lemons, hot sauce, and course grounded black pepper, the half-shell delights are consumed with utmost pleasure. Ahhh! Fresh baked bread! Must take some home! Who am I fooling? It will be eaten during the return drive. Of course these things can be found in DC, but I am captured by history.
   
   I have deep appreciation and love for open air markets (some are no longer 'open air' but enclosed due to renovation), especially those having long history, and enjoy the variety of aromas co-mingling in a bustlingly atmosphere. Freshly baked breads, cakes, and pies; grilled sausages, hotdogs, and sandwiches of countless variety and in various stages of preparation; unlimited spices; fresh beef, pork, chicken; fresh fruit wonderfully displayed; freshly picked flowers in astounding arrays. Such places are not everyone
