Still life with Fruit and Vegetables from Granville Market
Having a farmer’s market nearby (in our case, Granville Island) means that we not only get pretty ‘still life’ pictures like this one, but some days are particularly good, food-wise.
Breakfast today was a big bowl of fresh peaches, raspberries, blueberries and strawberries, toast, and scrambled organic eggs. Lunch was mixed greens and the last of those cherry tomatoes, brie, butterkäse, country paté and french bread. For dinner, we had locally grown roasted potatoes and rosemary, steamed patty-pan squash with carrots and pork chops with sautéed onions, fresh chopped sage and olives. Not too shabby.
Followup:
The next day wasn’t bad either, especially dinner: Filets of Sole with lemon, butter and parsley, Couscous with shredded parmesan and fresh Swiss Chard (from the farmer himself this morning — Thursday is when the truck market sets up just outside Granville Market and you get to meet and deal with the farmers face-to-face. I make it a point to make it to Granville Island that day — it reminds me of the wonderful Farmer’s markets we used to go to in Waitsfield, Vermont.)
