I went to the Strathcona Farmers Market today (and not to buy a fat pig) - I've been wanting to make my incredible pumpkin soup since last week but couldn't find small pumpkins anywhere!! I knew my market would have them - they've never let me down!
I picked out some wonderful mini cucumbers, two beautiful sugar pumpkins, 2 spaghetti squashes and a bundle of leeks... I've never cooked leeks before but I hear they make a great soup as well... I shall have to find a recipe online!
Another reason I love the market so much is that its a five senses kind of place - lots of things to see, hear, touch, smell and taste!! I love to people watch and there are always lots of opportunities to do that there too!! There are always buskers (musicians, artists etc) there to entertain you... I always bring change to put in their baskets!
We didn't stay too long at the market - I have to be back before 3 so that I can participate in a mini virtual stamp night (VSN)... but I'll have more posts about that as it happens
