The Farmers Market was lovely today - more musicians than usual, lower prices than during the summer, and a perfect blend of summer and autumn produce! There were lots of berries and lots of pumpkins! I spent all of the $21 I had on me, and came away with a big bag of yummies :)Here's one of the vendors where I had planned to get chard, but they were out of it by the time I came back. The only downside to walking through the whole market before buying anything!
Roasting peppers!
I bought a few heirloom tomatoes and some corn here
So pretty!
You know it's organic when you find critters!
I bought some chanterelles and nettles here
Hahaha!
Here's the goods!1 giant zucchini
4 heirloom tomatoes
4 multicolored beets
2 ears of corn
1 lb. of seedless grapes
3 bell peppers
1/6 lb. of chanterelles
a big bag of nettles
1 loaf of Dave's Killer Bread - Nuts and Grains
1 chocolate panini
Cookie just had to investigate - kittens are so curious!
This loot is officially Cookie approved!
P.S. I've never even tasted let alone cooked with nettles... it was a total impulse buy! There's a recipe for nettle potato soup with the bag, but do any of you have favorite recipes or ways to prepare them? Thanks!!!

i've never had nettles either! i'll have to check back and see what you do with them! sorry i haven't any suggestions!
ms. Cookie is the cutest! gotta love a curious kitty who like veggies! i laughed when you said "you know it's organic when you find critters" - i find them all the time, especially in my broccoli - gross!
those heirloom tomatoes are gorgeous! :D
i can't wait to see what you create with all the awesome loot!
I don't even know what nettles are! I feel kinda stupid! I should know that...
I love how there's a cat right there next to your grocery.
My cats are the same, I put something down and they are right over to have a look and check it all out. Cookie is adorabubble!
