Jean writes to tell us the results of her [1] Holiday Farmers’ Market shopping trip:

I just put eucalyptus into a vase, and eggs, brie, peppercorn muenster and mozzarella into the fridge; filled a huge cooler with butternut and blue hubbard, potatoes, a huge sac of onions, 3 stalks of brussels sprouts, vast quantities of garlic and cippolinis, tokyo turnip, cabbage, martian-esque cauliflower and delightful purple carrots with white cores; and my freezer was just supplemented with fresh whole chickens from McClary’s, and pork chops, shoulder steaks and t-bones from Lasting Legacy’s (who I’m also getting a ham from next Wednesday, and maybe a turkey!). And I got a new supply of maple syrup (king size this time!). I sent my mom packing with a lamb shank and sausage, a pork loin roast, a chicken, eggs and flowers! Aaaaaand, I bought that basket of gourds from Ramsbothams, along with some dried flowers, for a friend! I’m pooped! And broke! Ain’t no bettah feelin’ than knowing it all went to good hands! :~)

I had a great time and look forward to December’s event. Have a great Thanksgiving!
