I went a bit crazy at the market this week.  Tomatoes are in full swing and I was there and they called to me and I couldn’t resist! 

I started off with a case of tomatoes for roasting. 

Then I picked up these three gorgeous heirloom tomatoes.  They’ve got great names like Brandywine and Virginia Sweetie, but I forget the name of the third. 

Then I found myself in possession of lots of different types of little tomatoes, four greenish-pink tomatoes, orange tomatoes and yellow tomatoes!  So many tomatoes!

I also picked up some red  potatoes and a bunch of sweet onions of the Candy variety. 

And, for the green in my life, I bought cucumbers, zucchini, and some red-green bell peppers. 

Using everything during the next 7 days will be challenging.  I’m not sure why I do this to myself!  I hope I’m not the only one with eyes bigger than her meal plan when at the farmers market.
