So I got to the Farmer's Market..
Bert indeed did still have Lamb Spiedini - $1 each. I got 25 - good for tomorrow night' s barbecue with the neighbours!
Biscotti Shoppe was there and I got 4 lemoncello biscotti - perfect for my tea! They are organic and made with spelt flour - so I can finally enjoy! www.thebiscottishoppe.ca/ I have to say - the very best.
I wandered and saw the most gorgeous items, stained glass - but in plates... absolutely stunning... but I had my budget - ( I can catch that later perhaps! - as long as Ian doesn't find out!)
There was a lovely woman selling organic produce, onions, large zucchini (ZUCCHINI BREAD!)(****will make a post just for that) and the most massive kale... (YES I BOUGHT KALE.... the boys will kill me!) However it is for the guests tomorrow - Kale chips...
Got the Lamb, wandered still to the other side, discovered a lovely woman selling mushrooms - what a selection! Got them in a small quantity as my son Jordan hates mushrooms - but he has learned to eat them on the rare occasions that I make them.
On to the pastry and tart man - they were to die for - who ever sees 3 KINDS OF BUTTER TARTS? I have a dear friend who lives in Minnesota - and whenever he comes to Canada - one of the first things he looks for are butter tarts! YOU CAN'T BUY THEM IN THE U.S.!! When he comes up next year - I will get him a nice little supply..... I bought 2 for my boys - but I alas I can't eat them as they are wheat. I asked if they ever considered spelt... this delightful man - said he could look into it! Imagine butter tarts that I can eat? Tarts period that I could eat - I DOOOOO miss them.
If there are more of you out - there - ask him! If there is a market - he would do it I am sure! I wonder what other flour could be used?? Gluten free..... hmmmm... maybe that gram flour....damn those chickpeas again!
Green Peppers, the fabulous dried sausages...
What lovely stroll through a wonderful group of local vendors!
Get out there and support them!
