We haven’t been home a whole lot in the last few weeks so our cupboard was reminiscent of Mother Hubbard’s.
We trekked out into the perfect Indian summer late-Sunday-morning sun to find something to fill our tummies and our souls.
We came home an hour later with:
- A new kind of soap the scent of which Ruth Ann’s daughter Rachel described as lying down on a forest carpet of pine needles and fall leaves
- A half-gallon of whole milk (Rudi has promised me tapioca this week)
- A half-gallon of apple cider (because the house smells so nice when it’s cooking on the stove)
- Jicama (a South American root vegetable that I’m eager to try)
- Turkish eggplant
- Peppers in fall colors
- Tomatoes from a greenhouse
- Broccoli for soup
- Leeks for soup
- Gigantic red beets (almost as big as your head!)
- Suncrisp apples
- A yellow onion
- Young, fresh garlic
- Brussels sprouts
- Mascarpone
- Blueberry scones
Next week I’m going to pick up nuts (if they still have some) and winter squash. I just wasn’t ready to switch seasons quite yet!
