It was pleasant. We bought everything on my list but, as we were half way home, Doug said we didn't get bananas. We had bought a few at the supermarket yesterday but they are not nearly as nice so we turned off at the next intersection and went back to the Market where it was starting to get busy.
Altogether we bought watercress, avocados, tomatoes (ours are growing but a fair way off yet), red onions, delicious peaches, beetroot and beans as we are not picking quite enough just yet as well as the bananas. We did not plan on buying any plants but a couple jumped into my arms on the way to the car, a Lavatera and a Campanula.
Legs of lamb were on special yesterday in the supermarket so I slow roasted one today while I wrapped the great-granddaughters' presents.
A good day and a fairly lazy one.
Plants do have that habit of jumping!!
ReplyDeleteYou are very fortunate to have a Growers' Market
The Growers' Market is wonderful. I honestly thought no plants would be jumping this close to Christmas :)
DeleteThis post is making my mouth water! And those plants - you'll have to join the PPA! (plant purchasers anonymous.)
ReplyDeleteI think so. I seem to have bought more this year than last.
DeleteWhat a wonderful haul of fruit and vegetables. Summer abundance!
ReplyDeleteI was pleased with it.
DeleteI roasted a Leg of Lamb (NZ) yesterday for Kimbo, Susie, and Harvey. I got Harvey to carve the joint. It was delicious. We go to a Carol service this evening, so Lamb Curry on our return.
ReplyDeleteSounds good.
DeleteIt's not often lamb is on special, meat is so expensive these days.
ReplyDeleteIt was $12.99 and I see Woolworths have frozen legs $10.90. We eat meat regularly but not a large quantity so this will do us for a while. After having it sliced as roast meat for a few days I will make a Moroccan style stew and freeze some.
