Farmer's Market
On Saturday, Henry and I visited the farmer's markets in Thorntown and Lebanon. We came home with quite the bounty - brussel sprouts, baby carrots, green beans, tomatoes, and patty pan squash. On Sunday, Jerry dropped by some sweet corn. Here is a good harvest calendar to help anticipate what you might find at the farmer's markets each week. The link is an Indiana calendar but you can hunt around on the site to find calendars for other states.
Saturday night I braised the brussel sprouts with balsamic vinegar and roasted the carrots, and green beans. Henry and I enjoyed a ribeye with our vegetables. Sunday night we had some of the sweet corn and sliced tomatoes. I'm not sure yet what to do with the patty pan squash. Any suggestions?

Jerry - thanks again for the corn. It was good and sweet and we really enjoyed it! I love the "fruits of summer" - now if my big, fat green tomatoes would just turn red!
