Veggies from the Local Farmers' Market

Hi Cakes & Pickles Fans
Think about the best meals you have had so far... bet it was fresh food right??
I had a shopping adventure over the weekend at the Chesapeake Farmers' Market (http://www.chesapeake.va.us/services/depart/agricul/farmers-market.shtml)
It was great!  Check out the photo below of  the veggies.  It's wonderful to support local farmers!
(Must admit the I thought about the subtitle for my cook book - "How to kill your husband with shortening and sugar"!  The recipes from Grammie's cook book ain't health food eh!  What's life though without a homebaked treat?!)

The plan for the acorn squash, sweet potatoes and tomatoes are to roast them.  Will let you know how that goes eh!

Don't you just love the shape of the acorn squash?!  I'd love to have one cast in bronze - it could be used for a table decoration, garden ornament, paperweight or maybe a weapon (well, let's hope not!)

May your week be all cake with no pickles unless it's the eating kind!


(See the loose tomato?  There's a loose one in every crowd eh!)
