I didn’t take a picture of the fruit because my camera battery died but we got a mix of Fuji Apples, Golden Delicious Apples, Anjou Pears and Bosc Pears.

Yesterday I made a soup out of 1 bunch of collards, several bunches of stems from kale and collards, cauliflower leaves, and onions. I cooked the onions and the stems together for awhile, then i added the leafy greens and a few cups of water and let that come to a simmer. After I felt the greens had cooked enough, I pureed the soup with a stick blender. It turned out very sweet and delicious. It almost has the consistency of a cream soup but without any cream or potatoes. Very tasty.

We bought more vegetables and fruit at the farmer’s market. 3 delicata squash (SO fabulous), 3 different kinds of apples and a gigantic head of cauliflower. This is on top of week 21’s bounty:

Carnival Winter Squash-2
Onions-4
Red Russian Kale-1 bunch
Collards-1 bunch
Cabbage-1
Parsley-1 bunch
Beets-1 bunch
Celeriac-1
Potatoes-2 pounds

and more apples and pears.

This weekend I made:

• sesame garlic collards – very light on the sesame flavor, sadly. They were tasty, nonetheless.
• roasted fingerling potatoes with rosemary from my garden. Delicious.
• roasted beets, carrots, and parsnips. Delicious.
• quinoa salad with balsamic, dried cherries, raw sunflower seeds, parsley, and peas. For lunch today. Seems delicious.

I was planning on making Tarte Tatin but I was tired yesterday afternoon. I could make it tonight but I really need to get some exercise a lot more than I need to bake. It’ll get made sometime this week.

Last night we booked tickets on Air France to go to Brussels. I love flying Air France so much. Their coach service (Tempo) is delightful and my head might explode just imagining what their business class (l’espace affaires) or first class (l’espace premiere) must be like.
I hope I can sit still and concentrate until January.
