Farmer's Market -- 12 January 2020 (Iron Day, 23rd of Snowy, Year 228)

Pink lady, nittany, york, and winesap apples (some are staying here, some are going to the convention with us as emergency snack food), dried apple chips, mushroom-onion handpies, portokalopita (Greek orange cake), lemon-mastic olive oil cake, chestnut mushrooms, lemon meringue tart, and pear tart.

Meet fabrisse and had brunch with her. Then went to Looped Yarn Works to pick up some needles and walked off with a sweater's worth of on-sale Shi Bui Reed (linen!), so I guess I'm designing myself a summer sweater? Also, a pussyhat in blue for fabrisse.

What does mastic taste like?

[neotoma]

Somewhat pine tree-ish. It's a traditional flavoring in Greek cuisine, though.

Ooh, now I really want to try it! I'll have to find a Greek restaurant (oh, the hardship).
