I made a haul this week. Basil(for pesto), tomatoes, yellow beans, cabbage, cantaloupes, purple peppers, and not shown...pork chops.
Has anyone had a purple pepper? Is it gonna be sweet like a red one? Or more like a green one? It smells more like a green one. I got them for fajitas and am hoping they will be on the sweeter side. I will have to let you know.
In the background you will see some bags of corn and green beans. I am going to freeze this stuff and hopefully eat off it all winter long! I have a ways to go as far as quantity, but I am working on it!
Which leads me to by next question...when you blanch your corn for freezing do you cut it off the cob before or after blanching? I did mine before. Is it always so messy? I am still finding corn kernels on my kitchen floor!
Made out great at the market...even if I had to walk with a little basket on wheels. I couldn't handle the weight of my normal market bag this week. But, lady, that didn't keep me from going!
I got some sweet corn, red potatoes, garlic scapes, tomatoes, a whole chicken, some green beans, some stone ground whole wheat flour, and some wheat berries.
My fave find...has to be the flour. She has it every week, but I normally pass it up for produce. Not this week. I gave in and decided to go for it. Now, the wheat berries? I, for some reason, think they would make great hot cereal. Am I making that up? Anyone out there really know what they are meant for?
Our market is every Sat from 7 till 12 or so.
Here's what I snagged this week: a bunch of kohlrabi, a bunch of green onions, a bunch of great smelling basil, a head of cabbage, some red potatoes, and then 2 whole chickens and some leg quarters.
I try to buy something new every time if I can. This week for us it is the kohlrabi. We have never tried it before. I know eventually we will have tried most things and it will be harder to try something new...but till then it's an adventure!
