short and sweet
this last week i really needed to break up my routin of waking up, getting on the train and working. i asked tom if he would like to accompany me to the farmers market so we woke up early last saturday morning and rode our bikes in the glorious warm and sunny morning.
we grabbed some iced coffee at one of the stalls and then headed to grab some handmade butternut squash ravioli and some red pepper garlic sauce. sounds good? yup, it pretty much is heaven. one of the main reasons i like to go to the farmers market is for the chard. i love chard. it may be one of my favorite greens and this is one of my favorite recipes to make! the picture they have of it isn't exactly yummy looking but looks are totally deceiving, truuust me.
we grabbed some pastries and sat at a park bench before i had to jump on the train to work. it was hard parting with tom on such a glorious day. i could have spent all day in the sun with him. daaaaamn you work! always getting in the way! hehe

ReplyDeletei love going to farmer's markets! my dad used to grow chard in our enormous garden when i was little...it's probably been that long since i've eaten it. sometimes i long for those days when i could pull a carrot out of the ground, rinse it off, & eat it in the warm sun.

Looks like a most awesome day! I love chard, too, and although my little seeds sprout and make tiny plants they are never as wondrous as the ones I find at the Farmer's Market. I'm totally hungry for strawberries now, too! :)
ReplyDeletethey will get bigger! i know the ones at the farmers markets are so huge! i never knew they had yellow until that day. it looks so pretty with the green!
