Went to Vic's Fruit Market today-a hidden gem-situated right by our local stomping grounds, The Camebridge. This place is fabulous, it offers many different local and organic choices and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable-check it out if you have never been. Picked up some Cavena Nuda which has been coined 'Rice of the Praries'. This oat was bred for its unique qualities aimed at supplementing rice. It tastes and looks exactly like rice but has the health benefits of oats.
Made a stew of sorts today with onions, garlic (have you ever seen fresh garlic? it has a cool purple-y color and these long skinny stalks), celery, mushrooms, corn, parsley, potatoes and carrots. Without the usual salt and pepper the flavours of the veggies were really apparent.
A special thanks to Shannon for the sack of crab apples from her tree and to Stefan for the produce, focaccia, eggs, and ratatouille! We had an awesome visit on open farm day.
Eat mindfully. Savour your food.
