First stop was the bakery. I steered clear of the exquisitely rich pastries and bought a fresh organic bread. And then off to the butcher. There are at least 10 butchers in the market. My favourite is the organic butcher. Good food for the weekend.
Everything tempted me, but I managed to keep my purchases to a reasonable amount. Root vegetables were tempting. Maybe next time I'll think about making a pan of roasted root vegetables.
There was every kind of fruit available. Some must have travelled a great distance to get here. We are fortunate to be able to partake of such bounty, but I do worry a bit about the carbon footprint.
And in winter - I need flowers. I bought an orchid (to be seen another day) - the first since my infestation of aphids. At least it was grown in Canada, so I can enjoy its double green-ness.
It was certainly a mood boost setting the stage for a delightful weekend.
I love markets - none here in Breckenridge, but I go to one in my city neighborhood. You need some of that bread with the soup your daughter made!
ReplyDeleteThe market is always a delight for the senses. Well captured, Susan. I'm going soon.
ReplyDeleteSusan, GORGEOUS pictures, and I always wonder the same thing about the exotic foods and the consequences of them being at our reach. What market is this? We love to go to the one in Ste Anne de Bellevue when it's on, all locally grown and wonderful food. We always chat with the people there too, now that's a luxury these days!
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have the Atwater Market----it's such a wonderful place! And your photos capture all the deliciousness so very well!
ReplyDeleteI love markets too! Saturday and Tuesday are my grocery shopping days.
