Farmer’s market haul

Nothing new today – just repeats of previous good stuff.  I did, however, note how much I paid for everything; all this for just $21!

• 1/2 dozen ears of corn, $3
• pint basket of edamame, $3.33
• quart basket of french beans, $3.33
• 2 summer squash and 3 zucchini, $3.33
• 3L basket of peaches, $8

Although it has seemed decadent to go to the market and spend $30 just on fruits and veggies, the odd thing is that going to the market means we don’t have to go buy groceries.  We go through milk so quickly we buy it at the corner store, without triggering a trip.  In fact, I just checked our VISA card transactions, and we’ve gone to the grocery store only twice this month, and spent just $55.09 between the two trips.  That’s pretty amazing, considering how often I normally go when I’m at home.  I guess with eggs from the market and meat from the freezer, everything else is taken care.

Farmer’s market bounty

Today Will and I went to the market, and got about as much as we could carry:

• a pound of ground beef from the Mennonite farmer/butcher; it was their last week at the market, unfortunately
• Roma tomatoes
• French beans
• raspberries
• 1/2 dozen eggs
• 1/2 dozen ears of corn
• new white potatoes
• a basket of peaches
• apples
• and edamame!

But, the poor zucchini from last week are still languishing in the crisper drawer of the fridge.  It’s their night to shine, and the other veggies will have to wait their turn.

Farmer’s Market haul

Mike and I went to the local Farmer’s Market today; the aforementioned MyMarket in East Lynn park on the Danforth. For $30 we came home with this haul:

• a bunch of carrots
• a head of celery
• a bunch of yellow onions
• green beans
• new red-skinned potatoes
• raspberries
• green plums
• a half-dozen eggs

More later on what happened to the veggies!
