Yes, I would like some Basil


The little farmers market by our house happens every Wednesday and Sunday. I have time enough on Wednesdays on my way home from work to pick up some good eats. Heirloom tomato season is coming to an end, so I wanted to make sure I ate some, today! I also picked up some apples and chard and green beans and of course basil, to go with my tomatoes.





Yum, yum!

And then I made this while Moni was making pasta with lots of veggies.

And I made this super easy tart, that my friend Alejandra, the chef, whipped up for us one day. We already had the pastry crust in our freezer. It's super easy and quick. Thaw crust, peel apples, toss with sugar. Put apples in heaping mound in middle of thawed crust, brush with egg whites and sprinkle the top with more sugar. Cook in oven at 350 til golden brown.

I was like, "lets make whip cream". And he was like, "NO! Let's make ice cream, banana ice cream!" I was like, "you can't just whip it up like that, you need a recipe." And he was like, "No, you don't." And he was right. And it was good! The End...or is it?

These Little Piggies Went to Market...


Rachel and I go to the Farmer's Market about once a week around here. They have the best fruit and veggies in the city... and we usually pick up some homemade bread, or honey, or something also. So! Today, we documented our trip.



Rachel's first persimmon! Ever...

Local oysters, yummy!


Lunch. Whiskey-fennel sausage and chicken-turkey-curry.


Giant Buddha's-Palm Citron.


A day at the market! Show us markets around where you live.
