To Market on Saturday Morning

I'm a bit behind on posts, but things have moved quickly and there's little time to actually post them. But, I did want you to see what the wonderful visit to the local street market in Stephanie's neighborhood yielded us.

We were set to buy stuff for our home cooked meal (living on budget.) And, the market was full of amazing things.

First we stopped by the butcher where we accomplished two things: 1) We confirmed that Friday night's meal was not Kidneys, and 2) We bought an incredible freshly butchered chicken... complete with head and feet on, and most gizzards well attached. We waited for about 10 minutes for the young butcher to prep the bird for us.
Next we wandered past seafood, pastries, clothing and other wonderful good. But we had our eyes set on the cheese.... a cheese selection that would make the entire DeKorte-Ramsey family sit still in the kitchen before a Thanksgiving dinner.

The final stop was for vegetables. Fresh artichokes, haricot verte, lettuce, olives and radishes from the largest pile of radishes I've ever seen. Dinner was fun to cook. Simple roasted chicken & vegetables followed by wonderful cheese and topped off with an early night's sleep. More tomorrow!
