Some pictures from today's farmers market in Binghamton, New York.
Largest local cauliflower I've seen in a long time.
Celeriac is a root veggie I have never grown or purchased, but I've read these are delicious "fried" in an air fryer.
Brussel sprouts. Unlike many supermarkets, the local farm markets sell the plant, stalk and all.
Leeks, celery, and fennel. We used to grow leeks years ago but don't have the room to grow it any more in our community garden (we downsized the plots spouse maintains). I love a soup spouse makes with fennel, white beans, and some other veggies and veggie stock, blended in the pot with a hand blender.
And now, although I normally want to make my blog a haven of calm and peace...
I am thinking of the people of Ukraine as I blog this. We have bounty here; they have war there. Our children enjoy the fall fruits and vegtables. Their children drill to survive a worst case scenario. Winter is coming.
May our country and other countries continue to support them in their fight for freedom.💙💛
...the harvest is in.
ReplyDeleteThese vegetables are colourful. The winter is coming
ReplyDeleteThe people of Ukraine are on my mind as well
ReplyDeleteGood Eats did an episode where they did something with celeriac. I can't remember what they did, though.
ReplyDeleteI do love the colors of autumn produce! Funny, because oranges and browns, reds, are NOT near to my favorite colors! I especially love the gourds and squash around now. I turned my heater on this morning, first time this season.
ReplyDeleteI so look forward to winter being over in Ukraine. Not literal winter. I don't think enough is being done (unless behind the scenes we don't know about) to stop their aggressors.
