Public Market, January 19, 2008
The Public Market is thriving in the cold (granted, cold here is nothing like cold in, say, Wisconsin or Nebraska, where it's been in the negs). I'm glad there's a plethora of root veggies, and that not all of them are white potatoes, and I'm glad that leafy greens are abundant, because chard is delicious wilted into tomato sauce with turkey sausage.
This was the only chocolate vendor I'd yet to visit. Thank you for the wonderful conversation ... I always have the best conversations with chocolatiers! Here we have truffles ...
Truffles ...
And more truffles!
My haul. It's been so much easier to lug it around since I started bringing two tote bags to the market, but I may have to dig up another one soon!
Eat the rainbow!
Planetary turnip (not the official title, just the sheer size!)
Onion.
Sweet potatoes, grown by a friend of Sapna (the Pierson St Ecohood, and gifted to me because she had extra (thank you!). I also picked up a delicious vanilla honey tea with lemon to warm me up, but I didn't photograph it.
This week's Bread Basket Bakery treat--a cinnamon roll the size of the torso I wish I had ...
And of course I bought truffles!
Peanut butter crunch. Peanut butter and chocolate are an easy favorite combo for me, so it was the first I chose.
Arizona buckwheat honey--sweet, earthy, nutty, floral honey combined with dark chocolate. This was my favorite--I've decided that honey and chocolate are too rare.
White chocolate raspberry, because I love raspberry with chocolate. It had a nice, smooth, light sweetness to it.
