The acquiring of winter rations has begun in ernest.  To add to our frozen stores, this week we acquired extra lamb chops, dried beans, and cases of wine.  We also got bulbs for the early spring.

We also discovered a new delight.  Let us tell you how wonderful grilled fig and brie sandwiches are.  Wait, it can't be described.  You'll just have to try them with us next fall.

I bought our first romanesco cauliflower this week.  It's that crazy bright green fractal looking vegetable that's front and center in the picture.  There was a little girl at the farmer's market who told me that it looked like a Christmas tree.

I also bought our first quince this week.  However, I failed to find out that you have to cook quince before it is palatable.  Silent partner ate it anyway.
