It was a perfect day for the last outdoor Farmers’ Market of the season. Sparkling sunshine, not too cold, people shopping madly (but not yet stressed out) for Thanksgiving.
Overheard…
I want a kale and quinoa salad for dinner.
Did you see the delicata squash? We could stuff them.
We still have loads of roots left so we’ll do the indoor market for a few weeks.
Yes, that’s a watermelon radish.
See you in the spring!
I picked up two large stalks of Brussels sprouts for Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Maple, a fan favorite at my Thanksgiving dinner.
cranberries for Cranberry Salsa…
Have you ever seen/heard of a caraflex cabbage? They’re pointed! I was told they’re sometimes used for sauerkraut.
Or a deadon cabbage? So pretty.
The delicata squash are lovely…
but I like the ugly gourds, warts and all.
Love cauliflower – excellent cauliflower recipe coming soon!
Speaking of flowers…
How are your Thanksgiving plans coming?
I’ll be sharing more of mine tomorrow.
I don't claim to be a better cook than you, or anyone else. I just like to talk about it more. [
Where is this cute market?! So many fantastic finds. I’ve never bought a Brussels sprout stalk before. I’m terribly jealous now and sort of want to string lights and cranberries on it instead of a tree
Erin, this is at the Deering Oaks Saturday market! It would make an adorable little Christmas tree.
you are making me want to shop… i want those jeweled carrots, so gorgeous…
ps, remove your horrid verification, i have to try so many times its hard on old eyes!
Jain, I will try to get rid of the verification. Sorry – I honestly had no idea.
