Farm Fresh Diary: October 30, 2010

Just a quick post about the farmers' market today. I wasn't really feeling up to the market this morning--and I almost just stayed in bed--but I decided to go. And good thing too, because I bought some tasty, tasty apples...among other things.



A lovely bunch of carrots (I'm definitely going to roast these), thyme, cilantro, parsley, and pink lady apples. I LOVE pink lady apples! I had one with my reaper bun for breakfast, and it was delicious!

Speaking of reaper buns, I got my pastries from the same vendor that I bought the pretzels from last week. I still don't know what the bakery is called, but I decided to branch out a bit more and try something new. I had seen these reaper buns before, but was too shy to ask about them. And even though I wasn't really in the mood for the market this morning, I decided to be daring. Funny how that works...


Anyways, I got a reaper bun (its the one on the right) and an almond danish. The reaper bun was super good...especially the caramelized sugar on the bottom.
