From This Weekend's Market


Torpedo onions presented here especially for Ms. Tooknap.


Green and red okra once again this week. The green is from a farm that's new to me. We ate it up last night, and it was, hands down, the best okra we've had from WI.

These Spanish romano beans are huge-- an average of 10 inches long. From the farmer who grows the Dragon's Tongue beans. In my chat with her, we agreed that they should be served whole, because cutting them up just isn't as exciting.

Gorgeous amaranth again-- so tasty and beautiful, it's a new favorite.

More delicious peacock broccoli. This week's bunch-- selected with much care for me by the farmer-- isn't quite as leafy as last week's. I'm excited to give it a go.

Mostly sun golds, with a couple of others varieties hiding in the basket. Tomatoes have finally reached full force here.

Yellow and purple beans.
Not pictured: corn, muskmelon.

Grazie! And a momma and baby torpedo to boot. . .They look as if they were about to speak.

As usual, your bean portraiture is unrivaled.

I was excited about mama's root shadows. Many thanks for the kind words regarding m'bean portraiture.
