Farmers Market

I got up at an obnoxiously early hour and found myself driving in the rain to the Saturday farmers market off Orange Street. It was packed. they always have a nice crowd but I didn't think there would be that many people out in the rain.

I bought Honeywell oranges.



And massive quantities of strawberries.


I'm going to try a Rachel Ray recipe. I can't stand her, but the recipe sounds kinda simple and I have lots of strawberries. Stuffed roasted stawberries.

I have many large strawberries and I thought I could try this instead of dipping them in chocolate.


I also bought organic green onions. They are HUGE. I'm going to use them in a sausage casserole for dinner, since I actually managed to find shredded white cheddar in Florida. It's next to impossible to find. I cleaned out the dairy case. Why Floridians have such an aversion to white cheese . . . I'll never understand.

Baby eggplants also caught my eye. I think I am going to grill them with my steaks tomorrow.

I'll chop and freeze one red pepper and then I'll use the other in the casserole.

The only thing I didn't take a pic of are the baby red skinned potatoes. If it stays rainy and cool, I'm making clam chowder on Monday. Or maybe I should make it tomorrow for Monday. Hmmmm . . .
