At the market
And home again.This morning before the rains began, the farmers market was abundant with riches...it's the time of year when the market swells with the last peaches and plums mingling with the first apples and pears and all the vine fruits and vegetables are out and about. How could we resist this tiny orange-pink watermelon, the freshest eggs and cheese, these jewel-toned vegetables, these bright flowers designed to keep us happy all week?
I want to make Soupe au Pistou tomorrow night, a dish I love to make when the first beautiful beans come out at the market, the vegetables are petite and lovely and my basil is abundant, to say the least.
(I'll post my recipe for it after I do!~)
oooo la la! what a feast for the eyes! makes me neeeeed to go to a farmer's market!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an abundance of wonderful stuff!
ReplyDeleteI so am enjoying these pictures...the one with the sunflowers in the vase..so beautiful and cheerful. All this bounty just really brings home the fact that autumn is here. I am still on Vancouver Island and I can see autumn in the mist of the ocean, and the change in color of the trees and in some cases the last bloom of some flowers. But even here, the farmer's markets are brimming with sumptuous gifts.
