fullygoldy | Farmer's Market Bliss

We haven't been able to go to the Farmer's Market very often this summer, which is a bummer. Yesterday, I went with the girl after dropping DH at work. We got there around 8:20 and left at 9:15. In that time, we did 1.25 circuits of the square (that's 5/4) and spent $15, including the buck for parking.

This is what we bought:

a pint of yellow pair tomatoes
a pint of baby pattypans (I know we're overrun with squash in our own garden, but I couldn't resist. They're so cute!
a bunch of chard with the bright red stems
a baby watermelon ($.70!!)
a pint of serrano chilis - I thought they were jalapenos, and I had visions of homemade poppers... yikes
a habenaro, a scotch bonnet, a wax pepper, a hungarian hot and a hungarian sweet pepper
several pounds of red tomatoes (seconds) for salsa
3 beautiful yellow tomatoes
a bunch of leeks
a bunch of green onions
a large, glossy eggplant (for parmesan)
half a pound of green beans
half a pound of yellow wax beans

The girl kept saying she was hungry but we didn't buy breakfast, because I was really unhappy with my last trip to L'Etoile's cafe, and I just wanted good produce anyway.

Today, barley52 went with me to get cheese from Farmer John at a different Farmer's Market. We got Gorgonzola, Romano and Provenello, and then we also got 3 cukes because I used the last one for dinner last night. That trip set us back $12! Cheese is pricier than produce, LOL.

Tonight, we're having salad with the gorgonzola on it, because I've been craving it, but I haven't decided on the entree.
