Dupont Circle Farmer's Market



Woo hoo! Farmer's Market Day!  It was brrrr shiver cold here this morning so I cheated and took the bus over to the market.  I walked home though and I thought to myself that the better option would be to walk to the market and then, after I'm loaded up with goodies, take the bus home.  You can see I loaded up with the usual goodies:  tomatoes (yes, still at the market!  But some of them are greenhouse tomatoes.  I asked specifically for field tomatoes and supposedly that's what I got.  I'm not sure though . . . they feel awfully firm for a field tomato.  Oh well, I'll try them this week and if they're bad, I'm done), apples (Northern Spy & Cameo), carrots, peppers, onions, and purple and regular potatoes.  The eggs that I got last week were great and I only had one (!!) left as of last night so I went ahead and purchased some more.


So, did anyone notice my adorable head of orange cauliflower in the center of my melange of vegetables?  I saw it a couple of weeks ago and thought to myself:  "It's too bad I hate cauliflower because that is so cute!" For the record, I loathe cauliflower of any color; however, I came across a recipe on another food blog that called for, of all things, orange cauliflower, and it looked like it might be ok.  I'm going to make it for dinner tonight and with any luck you all will get a new blog post describing the outcome!  That's all I'm willing to spill about my top-secret cauliflower experiment.  Oh, side note:  apparently orange cauliflower is even better for you than normal cauliflower because it has suped-up amounts of vitamin A.  

Stay tuned for the great orange cauliflower experiment!
