The Farmers Market

On Saturday, we went to the weekly Farmers Market, which is held on the plaza/road between the main branch of the library and Prospect Park. We've missed it every other week for various reasons, so we went a little vegetable crazy. The produce in the supermarket is pretty unfortunate, so this is a good chance to stock up.

And stock up we did! Here's what we got: four types of eggplant (deep purple, light purple, light purple with stripes, and white), zucchini, yellow squash, collard greens, multigrain bread, goat cheese, tomatoes (note: we would normally get a lot of tomatoes from my aunt, but hers--all 96 plants--have the blight. It is very sad for us all), green peppers, some awesome spinach/mozzarella/garlic bread, sweet potatoes, and Seneca Lake wine (whoo!).

Now we're struggling a bit to cook everything before it gets mushy, but it was well worth it. Last night we had sweet potatoes, collards, biscuits, and noodles--a meal which my Georgia-born grandma would be proud of! I think tonight might be an eggplant night.
