Sunday Funday

Farmer's Market Day.

What do you think of my goodies this week?  I was in Boston last weekend so I missed the market, time to restock!  I find that usually one week I'll get quite a bit and then the next week I don't need as much.  Today Dudley came with me which was super fun in and of itself . . . but also great because he carried my bags back for me!  

So, here's a rundown of my haul:  apples (0f course), small cabbage, broccoli, onions, yellow and green beans (they're very tender and should be fantastic!), one red pepper (and I had to look very, very hard to find it), some green zebra tomatoes, a leek, romanesque cauliflower (darned if the market isn't making me a cauliflower eater), and a loaf of sesame wheat bread.

Yes, I got broccoli; and, yes, I still think that it tastes like astroturf.  I'm thinking about making broccoli slaw though and I do like that.  I also like broccoli cheese soup.  I got lots of lettuce because I ran out of it and I've been craving a delicious salad.  (I caught you a delicious bass . . .)

The farmers market is getting greener and greener and I'm not talking eco-friendly here.  I can tell that winter is around the corner.  Tomatoes are officially gone, I got the green zebras from a stand with the remains of the heirloom tomatoes (that I might add were waaaaay past their prime.  The green zebras are ok though).  I had to look so hard for a red pepper, they're mostly all green (blech!).  There are lots of nuts:  American chestnuts, English walnuts, and pecans. There is a plethora of green:  cabbage, peppers, lettuce, broccoli, leeks, greens of all sorts.  

Happy Sunday!
