Beautiful farm market – sadly most of the veggies are gone for the season around here. I am still able to find lovely mushrooms and bitter greens.

Love the chili roaster – awesome – was he in OG recently – I think so.

Cheers, happy holidays.

Thanks everyone! Aww, ain’t it gorgeous? I’m gonna miss it so much!

@ Meghan – The contraption is for roasting chilis and it is amazing! The whole market smells like fired chilis and it’s just mouthwatering. We made some amazing enchiladas this fall! =D

@ Monika – I *love* that idea of letting Nina choose one new thing each week. I totally plan on doing that with Waits – best way to prevent a picky eater is to make eating new things FUN!

@ Kiki – Thanks for the baby love! I agree. =) Peoples is my co-op and I love it! I’ll definitely be hitting the year-round mini market this winter, but it’s just not the same! Still it’s super awesome that we can get local produce and continue to eat seasonally all through winter. We are very lucky!

To everyone sad about snow and closing markets, just try to hold on to the thoughts of how amazing it will be next spring!

These photos are so beautiful and inspiring! (And make me curse the droves of snow currently hammering away at my windowpanes).

I have one of these not a paper cups too. I loooove it. Have had it for over a year and I use it almost every day. I also made it some cozies to keep it warm and stylish. There’s a need for insulation when it’s 14 degrees outside. And the colorful coats get it a lot of attention.

It’s so beautiful at the farmers market, extremely jealous! We’re having about 10 inches of snow falling down to our little country every day. We’re drowning here. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love it, as long as I don’t have to use any transport besides my legs.

@Meghan Annie is right that is a roaster. I grew up in NM where these are pretty common. They are made to roast green chile a specialty that comes in many varieties. Just looking at it brings back the amazing aroma of my childhood.

All these market photos are lovely, but yr baby really steals the show! I don’t get down to the market very often, and I’m kicking myself now that it’s ending. People’s Co-op in SE has a year-round one though every Wednesday from 2-7 that I sometimes go to; it’s teeny compared to the glory of the main downtown one, but still a way to keep up a year-round direct connect with fresh food.

Such gorgeous photos! I haven’t been to my local market in awhile and I really miss it; over the summer Nina and I would head over after our Saturday morning runs and she would get to choose something new every week, that was hers and hers alone to decide how we would prepare it (there were a LOT of stone fruit pies and berry tarts).

Oh, and I have almost the exact same ‘not a cup’ – I take it with me always (as well as my reusable straw).
