Public Market, January 5, 2008

Brussels sprouts, onion, butternut squash, and broccoli from One Windmill Farms, chocolate-dipped macaroons, and a mystery leafy vegetable from Crooked Sky Farms ...
1/5/07 public market

Butternut squash is a definite staple, and I can't turn down fresh broccoli!

Mmmm ... Bread Basket Bakery's chocolate-dipped macaroons!

I was going to use half in a quick soup (chicken stock with shrimp and rice noodles) and half in an omelet, but it all ended up in the soup. It was yummy! Pictures to follow, though it's hard to really tell what's what through the steam ...
