A Slice of Brooklyn Life - Saturday Greenmarket

Yesterday Mindy asked, "As we close in on the end of October, what are you doing?"

I'd love to say enjoying autumn, but we've been having another burst of summer like weather (supposedly going to change tonight).

What that means is that I have a bit of local flavor to share with you - the supreme abundance of our market. I took my phone shopping with me and have some great photos to share. Don't they just make you want to cook something wonderful?

Still selling summer corn.

Apples are everywhere!

Loving some beets! They are gigantic.

For Missy and Mindy and all the Belles - OKRA!

I love gourds.

Colorful cauliflower.


Green beans, wax beans, purple beans?

Pretty radishes




Can you see that WALL of carrots and beets?


Sun shining on the kale.

More colorful kale
A mountain of green beans for the picking.
SO.MANY.APPLES!

These were a new apple to me. They are called Snap Dragon and are supposedly New York's answer to Honey Crisp. I loved the small sign on the side that explained that the brown spots were caused by a hail storm back in May!



My favorite stop is always the baked goods. The apple walnut muffins are SO amazing. I must find a recipe.
 
Apple cider donuts - always a good way to start a Saturday!










Anyone have a good apple walnut muffin recipe?
