Here are the contents of my market basket from Saturday. The treat in that brown bag shall be discussed later.
There is nothing better than a 65 degree morning with the sun coming up over the market. It lets me know for a moment, that all is right in the world.
I love a good crop of marigolds. They always put me in a Dia de los Muertos frame of mind which makes me want to watch Coco again this year.
You know I snagged a nice bag of arugula, there will be time in the coming weeks for the acquisition of apples and pumpkins.
Linda had on the most amazing blue/green "butterfly" glasses, and THE smile to go with them.
These bundles of drying grasses, flowers, and branches were simple and beautiful.
This week was the week I decided it was time to try some sourdough bread from the Peters Family Farm.
Since I am writing this post on Sunday night, I can tell you that it was everything sourdough should be. Dense and flavorful, it made perfect toast for breakfast and was equally good with butter, garlic, parmesan, salt and pepper, under the broiler with dinner.
I loved her flower toting method that allowed for continued hands-free shopping. Sometimes you spot the bouquet you want and don't want to trust it will still be there after the rest of your shopping has been wrapped up.
I myself was a sucker for the bouquet with pink dahlias this week, they went quite well with the orange zinnias that were already on the table.
Last but absolutely not least is this cranberry orange scone from Chonky Sweets and Eats. Several weeks ago they told me how good their scones were, this week I tested. I am a HUGE scone fan. In my mind the perfect scone is the marriage of a biscuit texture and a muffin flavor that needs no embellishment whatsoever. The raw sugar on top provided a wonderful crunch. I was told it would be perfect as is, but if I warmed it in the oven for about 5-10 minutes it would be even better. Which was excellent advice. This was one of, if not THE best scone I have ever eaten. Well done.
