Now THAT is a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning.

We got up semi-early this morning, loaded the 3 youngest kids up and drove about an hour north of here to a place called Fruitway. There are about a dozen fruit and veggie stands along a few miles of the highway there. And I had a great time checking them all out and loading up the back of the truck with a bunch of tasty treats. All the while imagining a meal plan for the week. Oh yeah.....good stuff!
We bought:
~a peck of jamming peaches for $3.00 THREE DOLLARS! Crazy good price and they'll make some crazy good jam.
~beets
~green beans
~red bell peppers
~3 zucchini for $1.00. Good price for us since we "ain't got no friends".
My grandpa used to say that a man with no zucchini is a man with no friends. LOL
~corn
~roma tomatoes
~gala apples So nice to have fresh apples sans waxy grocery store coating.
~eggplant 2/$1.00!!! Wow!
~ 3+ pounds of bing cherries. SEVENTY NINE cents a pound! I felt like we were robbing them!

~half bushel of juicy New Harmony peaches. The only peach worth eating is the one that sends juice dripping down to your elbows. We'll just eat most of these and freeze what we can't finish before they get too ripe.
~a big butternut squash
~spaghetti squash
~blue hubbard squash. I've never heard of or cooked one of these but I'm excited to give it a try!
~yellow summer squash
~apricots
~limes (not locally grown but 12 for 60 cents! How could we pass that up?!?!)
~some different kind of cucumber whose name I have forgotten now
~red creamer potatoes
~A little jar of local orange flavored honey that will be super yummy on Roger's buttermilk biscuits I'm sure.

I don't know if the low prices made up for the gas to get there. But I'm SURE the flavor will.

Happy day!
