To market, to market ...
I went to the Saturday markets with friends this morning. We had to get up bloody early, but it was worth it. My haul was:
- 5kg box cherries, $10
- 10kg box seedless grapes, $10
- bag full of nectarines, gotta be about 5kg in there, $10
- giant seedless watermelon, $6
- big box of rhubarb, $10
- box of tomatoes, $10
- 5 small butternut pumpkins, 5 for $2
- tray of 15 strawberry punnets, $15
then I swapped a few of the punnets of strawberries with my friends for a few red capsicum and eggplant. I also got some cheap rump steak, a whole beef striploin, and some frozen snapper fillets.
So the plan for the rest of the weekend:
- roasted tomato pasta sauce
- eggplant & capsicum pasta sauce
- pumpkin soup
- pit and freeze cherries
- hull and freeze strawberries
- stew & freeze rhubarb
- eat lots of fruit!
The grapes and nectarines will also be heading to the freezer, and I'll try and do some baking.
