I love this market. I don't go every weekend as we have lots of events out of state on Sundays (both work and pleasure) so when I am home on a Sunday morning, I phone/text my sister and my DD to see if they want to meet there.
This weeks take was:
Beautiful bunch of swiss chard (that I weighed when I got home, 2.5 pounds) for $3.00 yes, just $3.00 for the bunch. Already cooking in a Thai Coconut Curry and white bean soup. Gpa P will be happy.
Huge bunch (1.5 pounds) of flat leaf kale. HUGE. $1.50 I cannot find these prices anywhere else.
6 ears of corn, all of the above items grown in Woodbridge, $3.00
Nectarines and Raspberries from Rose Farm in South Glastonbury, $9.00
A new to me cone shaped cabbage (originating in Germany) that is supposed to be crunchier and sweeter than regular green cabbage. $2.00 I plan on making coleslaw.
A sourdough baguette, $2.50
Treats were a Basque Cake and two chocolate croissants for DD and DH $10.50 Sono Bakery
An apple cider donut that I shared with DD and her BF $1.00
$32.50 spent for my family. I have only spent $180.00 on groceries this month for the household. Woohoo!
I cannot forget to mention that I also picked up 2 lbs of garlic scapes for my friend Margaret H. I think she will be making garlic pesto with it. $20.00, an expense now, but she will have the luxury of enjoying it all winter.
Everything was organic!
The scapes are washed, cut and measured. I hope to toast the pignoli tonight and have jelly jars of pesto in the freezer by Saturday! Can't wait to open a jar of garlicky goodness on a cold winter's night. Thanks again for picking them up for me!
