This is my favorite time of the year! I went to my market yesterday, after brunch with a friend. What a simply splendid way to spend a morning! Local, organic, seasonal produce and other local products. I wanted to make another greens salad, but no greens to be found this week. Too hot! This is what I bought:
Cucumbers.
Tomatoes, regular and cherry.
Swiss Chard. This was a huge bunch.
Herbs - basil and mint. I buy any I see. Half of the time, I don't even know what I'm buying!
Radishes.
Fresh beer bread.
Yellow potatoes.
Multi colored carrots! Yellow, orange, and purple?
Curry, goat feta cheese.
I bought so many things and bunches are abundant. I was a little worried about how I would get all of this on my bike, with a purse and jacket already in hand! I may have lost a few cherry tomatoes along the way!
I also invested in 1/2 share of a CSA, so I had some goodies from there, too.
I wash, dry, and store all items when I get home. I made French Potato Salad, toubouli, and a veggie panini so far. I went to a small pot luck last night with potato salad and toubouli. I am determined to use all of these ingredients with very little from the grocery store. This week, I will probably only need to buy some fish, eggs, almond milk, and fruit. One of my other goals is to waste none of this bounty!
