Hungry? These are just the leftovers, taken to illustrate my guest post at the amazing D.A. Wolf’s Daily Plate of Crazy, one that responds to her insightful post on American’s waste of food.

I’m off to the market. I may even brave a visit to the Flower Man…
Have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy et Bon Appetite!
Headed to our little Sunday farmer's market here – no red beans, or Lavendar soap, but I will be thinking of you. XXXX
How is it that fresh produce at a market out in the wind and sunlight, displayed in new wooden crates and raffia, looks so much more wholesome and appetising, than the supermarket counterpart of polystyrene boxes and plastic crates, lit with harsh fluorescent lighting? I often shop at the local supermarket, simply out of convenience. But I have so much more satisfaction when I make the effort to shop at a farmer's market. The food looks so much more appealing and fresh, with a bloom that comes from being picked at its premium, rather than being stored in supermarket cold storage and being brought on to the right stage. There are many different languages being spoken, and you feel as if you are actually helping to support the farmers themselves, rather than a powerful, faceless conglomerate. It makes for better eating, I'm sure! And to come home with a happy bunch of fleurs as well, tops it off.
Thanks for your delectable images. Those pink beans and red tomatoes look beautiful!
Thanks Heather!
Cheers,
Deborah from Melbourne.
Heather the sun is out here – so I am trying to pretend that we are in such a colourful neck of the woods as you are!!! OMG – how awesome are you images and the previous post as well!!! My heart aches – to come back!!! Cheers enjoy!
Glorious photographs of the delectable…one of your artistry's best subjects, Heather! Thank you, Leslie
What did the FLOWER MAN have for you today???DO TELL…………….xxx
Wow, I love the look of your market.
I have never known how to make a small bit of anything, except chicken breasts. Seriously, it's the Italian in me, I think…we love big gobs of everything piled high, we love excess and we love splendor. However, the thought of throwing away beautiful fruits & veggies gone bad has encouraged me to shop every other day and not buy what I know won't be eaten in that time. I love D.A.'s post too. Love you, H…
Totally hungry now.
I can't believe they sell "fideuá" in your neck of the woods! Yummy!
All my senses dance in a banquet that doesn't seem to end.
Oh Heather – all of it, glorious and gorgeous! Et merci for the magical piece chez moi.
Bon weekend!
