Market Watch 2007.08.11

Back to C-ville for this weeks haul. Heirloom tomatoes are in full swing, and they seemed to be the focus for most of the producers. Lisa from Restaurant Widow was there demoing some corn salsa/relish, but it was too early for me. It was great to meet you Lisa! Here’s what I dragged home:

The coolest looking peppers I’ve ever seen…

Eggplant for the grill…

Heirloom tomatoes, to be used on a pizza, I’m thinking…

A zuchinni that just might eat me! I’ll be making my mom’s awesome relish, I’ll share the recipie later.

Ohio peaches…

Elderberrys (for jamming)…

And two kinds of garlic.

I’m off to the Ohio State Fair later today, expect more blogging soon.

Market Watch 2007.08.04 (Better Late Than Never Edition…)

So I got a little busy last week and didn’t get to posting my market pics. The good news is that now we can all bask in photo documentation of what I did with some of this stuff.

I went with T to the Worthington Market this time, as we had heard that it was quite a bit bigger. We discovered that while this is true, it’s also quite busy, with many narrow walkways. Will we return? I could handle it solo, but for a nice, early, relaxing market stroll, we’ll stick with C-vill, methinks.

First up, some pleasantly pretty purple peppers procured post-haste.

Purdy stripy tomato….

Yummy basket of squash…I never got around to using that blossom you see, but the veg itself was awesome on the grill after a quick blanch…

Purple Spuds (I have a thing for anthocyanins, I guess…)

And the beet goes on…

Most of this went right on the grill with minimal prep. Olive oil, salt & pepper.

I just got around to the beets last night. I roasted them in my oven, peeled and added some blanched red onion, balsamic vinagrette, parsley and organic goat cheese.

Now to post todays bounty!
