The guy was really nice though and said he'd be back with more in a couple weeks. <BR/><BR/>I've never bought the cinnamon rolls at the market, but I eye them every week. Do they taste as good as they look? Wow! You really did pick up a bunch of stuff. I bet you've family is pleased with all that :)<BR/><BR/>Hope you had a wonderful anniversary weekend!<BR/><BR/>seraphim - Thanks!<BR/><BR/>jennifer - only 2 weeks left? Yikes! Do you do much canning? I would be canning like mad at that point. Your soup would be a perfect thing to can. Good luck with the minestrone.

I'm proud and impressed by what you have done, and I am trying to follow in your and many others' footsteps. (This makes me sad because there are only 2 weeks of the farmer's market left - then I have to trek to the local grocer and hope they have some produce!).<BR/><BR/>I've been on a soup kick lately! I am really enjoying making my own soup. Next week I think Brett and I are going to try Minestrone.

One lemon could make ...Those lemons were crazy big. One lemon could make a pitcher of lemonade...I bought three small ones. Even with everything I picked at Vickys, cucumbers, malabar spinach, peppers, squash, eggplant, and green beans; I picked up a lot of stuff at Market, too. I bought two things of cardamom cinnamon sweet rolls, dried apples, dried cranberries, potatoes, an onion, a dozen eggs, and four jars of salsa(the salsa that is less heat, more taste).<BR/>Oh and even though several ingredients weren't local, I made two bourbon chocolate pecan pies(local pecans and eggs) and four cheesecakes (local eggs), one topped with Ande's mints baking chips before baking, two plain and one topped with sliced kiwis and strawberries and some melted Heather's peach jam as glaze. I had to bring dessert because we met with my sister's future in-laws to discuss the wedding (Mar 28th) last night. They were very nice, we talked for several hours. I didn't even eat any dessert, but I love making lavish desserts, crazy as that sounds. It is like I don't have to consume to enjoy the art of cooking.ttammylynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04951289120280057547noreply@blogger.com
