Watermelon lemonade, miyatake mushrooms, lemon tart, gruyere-bacon wheels, kouign aman pastry, fresh mozarella, a baguette, ufo purple chile peppers (which may be too spicy for any use I can make of them -- possibly one chopped fine instead of 3 serranos in peach salsa?), 3/4 lb of pickling cucumbers, a red bell pepper, chocolate chip walnut cookies, raspberry crumble squares, chewy ginger cookies, and cranberry ginger cookies.

I also have food from my friends overflowing CSA box: a slicer tomato, an asian eggplant, a bag of basil, beets, carrots, a coneheaded cabbage, and 2 melons (possibly sugar cube melons -- they're about the size of grapefruits).

I've roasted two heads of garlic and will be making a toasted caprese sandwich in a moment. I hope to make some muffin-cup frittatas with the mushrooms tonight and get a start on red-and-butter pickles (just like bread-and-butter pickles, but with more hot peppers).

I'm planning on making strawberry jam this week with all the strawberries. I just need strawberries, lime juice, honey, and thyme and enough canning supplies, and I have all of those.

Farmer's Market -- 13 April 2024 (Pigeon Day, 25th of Germination, Year 232)

I got three compliments for my A Lotta Axolotl button-down shirt from Morning Witch Studio, which I was wearing under my green canvas jacket because it was warm today.

I'm seriously thinking about getting a Market share for the summer, possibly with the Grain share add-on. I think I'd have to find someone to split it with, though; there's a limited to how many vegetables I can eat in a week, and there are a good number that I won't eat at all, like spaghetti squash.

Me (a person very obviously of European descent): I'd like the kkakdugi, please.
Mom's Kitchen proprietress (an asian grandmother type): You speak Korean!? :)
Me: Very badly.

Also, it was 22F (-5C) today, with a windchill that made it feel like 8F(-13.3C). I got home around 1pm and I may not go out again until the Monday commute to work. Even wearing my fur-lined boots only helped so much.
