this Sunday's farmers' market

Or "greenmarket," if you are a fellow Manhattanite. (The Tompkins Square Park greenmarket, to be precise). I tried to not get too ambitious with my purchases this week because it appears that I'll be working a lot and won't have much time to cook. I'll have time for tomato sandwiches, though!

How sad these photos will make me in the middle of winter!

I also picked up a few other things:

    Hi! Gorgeous photos. Just saw your comment on my blog - I grew up with the daughter from the York Hill farm family! So, naturally, I also grew up eating their goat cheese. Yummy.

    you must have gotten there earlier than we did
    the ronnybrook lady was packing up just as we got there
    she said the punk concert was doing her head in, lol!
    and i realised i lied.... i've never had dipaolo's turkey sausages before... we always go for dines farms' sausages especially the chicken/garlic/sage or chicken/spinach/mozzarella
    both delicious!

    I have not tried Dines Farms sausages — I am a huge fan of their chicken, though, so I'll have to try it soon. I am also a huge fan of the guy who sells it; he never freaks out when my dog tries to snatch the stuffed chicken from his table!

    Those yellow squash are actually yellow zucchini.

    How I miss the Tompkins Square market - I used to live on 3rd and B and it was the first place I'd go on Sundays. (I also miss the Union Square market, and Ronnybrook Farms yogurt, and everything from Red Jacket Orchards, sigh.)

    But hey, we have a pretty good market down here in Baltimore!
