Farmers Market Haul
Nov. 15th, 2009 04:03 pmYesterday's farmer's market haul: a loaf of organic challah bread, a pint of red heirloom tomatoes, a dozen eggs (from a different farm than I usually buy them from. They are gorgeous- a rich, warm brown- and having eaten two this morning, I can say that they are also delicious, with yolks so big and bright they're almost orange), some fresh butter (I noticed that this dairy is also now selling eggnog, which I loooove, but I decided to wait until next week to get some), four bosc pears, a bunch of wild spinach, one large celeriac (aka celery root), and four purple-topped rutabagas (the last two I have never tried. I am excited! Tell me your favorite recipes). I had heard that someone was selling purple broccoli, but unfortunately I was unable to find it. Maybe next week.
It was rainy and cold, as it has been most of this week, but today is bright and sunny and inexplicably warm. A lovely day.
