Public Market, December 22, 8, and 1

The past six weeks have been so busy that I've fallen behind in everything I've wanted to post about--most notably, my Public Market posts. To this day, there's still so much produce I have yet to try, and there's something new almost every week, along with some old favorites. Here's a catchup!

December 22

Lunch.


First, they'll sink to the bottom.


After a few minutes, they'll float to the top.


Quickly scoop them out.


And plate. Rainbow Valley's whole wheat cheese gnocchi with a drizzle of olive oil and some grated parm. So yummy, and better for low-carbers, since it's made with whole wheat instead of potatoes. It has a good bite without being chewy, and it was wonderfully filling.


Dessert.


Mmmm ... the best way to handle dark dark chocolate is pair it with ... something sweet!


And furthermore: crispy tart shell, soft, gentle caramel, rich dark chocolate.
