This past Saturday morning I got up early and headed out to the North Fork to pick up some local veggies for the coming week.
The beets, carrots, Japanese eggplant and heirloom tomatoes are from Sang Lee Farms. The cheese pumpkin (I actually bought two) are from Harbes Family Farm. The acorn squash, butternut squash, round summer squash and purple cauliflower are from Northville Farm Stand. And, the three different varieties of organic garlic are from Garden of Eve.
So far, I've roasted both pumpkins...one for Jackson and one for his parents, and we've eaten most of the tomatoes.
I did the pumpkin picking/corn maze thing at Harbes on Sunday. Picked up some apples at Sang Lee and some wine and a cigar at Vineyard 48.
I love trying new foods, so in addition to the apples I brought home a moo from Sang Lee. One of Karen's kids told me it was sweet and you can eat it raw as a snack or stir fry it. How could I go wrong? Well, as I discovered with the first bite, a moo is nothing more than a giant radish. This thing weighs 5lbs--seriously. I've got a lot of stir fry in my future 'cause I ain't eating any more of it raw--LOL
