Farmers Market Haul

I love the Trout Lake Farmer's Market! I managed to squeeze in a visit before work on Saturday.
I picked up the first tomatoes of the season; although they aren''t Milan's Tomatoes, they were still very good.

I also spotted squash blossoms.

Some fresh eggs, swiss chard and green garlic also made its way into my basket

The squash blossoms were stuffed with a soft french cheese, chopped toasted pine nuts and a wonderful dehydrated roasted garlic that a friend gave me. I then deep fried them, mindful of last year's experience. I served a small salad of tomatoes, balsamic, fleur de sel and fresh oregano on the side.

The second course was a ribeye, served with sauteed swiis chard. I love summer.

Oh... btw, I want to thank you for the name of the tea place. I think I'll save you a bit of trouble and go there myself. Thanks so much for the offer to send it though. I just may use you as a minion one of these days though LOL

Gorgeous photos, Linda. The squash-blossom plate is too wonderful. Is that a flour-and-water batter you used?

Amazing. First I see a photo of you and Tony, and now this.
