To Market, To Market


To market, to market
To buy farm fresh goods,


 Home again, home again,
To play with the food!


This summer, our garden granted us with plenty of
   veggies, in many different varieties. From zesty
  tomatoes, cool cukes, and an abundance of zucchini,

  

 to sweet cooking onions, the last of which were
 harvested a few days ago, braided, and left outside to dry.


A few weeks leading up to their harvest, their leaves
 were picked upon demand, to be featured in salads, 
 tarts, fricassée, (a lovely, lemony, Greek version),


 and of course, bouquets for this blogger's styling fix!


Plans for the winter shift are already in progress,


 and include spinach, romaine lettuce, collard greens,
and leeks, all rich in antioxidants and a host of vitamins!


But, until then, our local farmers continue
 to provide us with fresh, seasonal fare.


 Versatile, these summer starlets take direction well.
 So, until you decide their fate of whether to bake, puree, 
 boil or sauté, why not have some fun first, and simply play?!


Promise to visit you all soon;
it's been a busy weekend! 
Thanks for visiting and
have a wonderful week!
