to market, to market

I met my friend M this past thursday for a little field trip to the farmer's market at Dufferin Grove. What a fun, gorgeous, tummy-warming afternoon...we'll have to do it again soon!

Everything is golden!





We saw (and smelled) some focaccia with onions and rosemary being baked in the communal wood oven.


So inspiring...makes me want to eat my veggies.



A lovely man was selling homemade ginger beer and sorrel juice...very natural and sweet-tart tasting stuff.


We could not miss this: Butterfish sammie with fried plantains, avocado and pickled peppers and red onions....really, really good.



Some more unusual things we saw, local funny looking butternuts ...


...and tiny sweet chestnuts.



Contemplating bringing a loaf or two home.




We decided to treat ourselves to some seriously decadent hot cocoa and cookies.

And just in case you were wondering what I did bring home:

An itty bitty chicken from Beretta Farms, (the rest not shown) some local eggs, a cool looking bunch of tatsoi (I've never tried it before, looks like skinny baby bok choy, will let you know how that goes) and some pea sprouts.

I think the perfect fall afternoon put me in the mood for a nice roast chicken dinner...

Ready just in time to watch the new 30 Rock episode!
