Hello, Sunshine.

Dark days have indeed arrived.

I can make a round at the market in about five minutes as the stands are getting smaller, and more farmers stop coming for the winter. I am still very grateful to have a year round market at all though, and shopping takes less time.

Today I purchased one massive bunch of collards, some tiny carrots, five bunches dinosaur kale, some tiny lettuce, “braising mix”, a 20 pound box of cameo apples, a squash, and some dried fruit.

While the selection might be waning, the deliciousness of the greens is off the charts! Last week I got two bunches of kale and I had finished them a day later, so this week I was more prepared and bought much more.
Making a daily 95% local meal is becoming increasingly difficult, because I like to supplement with other ingredients for the sake of flavor. The kale has really been my favorite though, and I’ve been making big bowls of steamed kale with dressing and some avocado. It’s savory and very filling on a cold night.

This week, I plan to enjoy the greens, squash, and all those cameo apples for snacks and fresh juice! Yum.
