Weakness for Beautiful Things

So Saturday, Chris and I headed out to the Farmer's Market on King's Drive. I went looking for zucchini blossoms. I have a magazine that has 4 or 5 different recipes and I really wanted to try one. I have seen quite a few different recipes and blogs with zucchini blossoms and curiosity is killing me. So like I said off we headed to the Farmer's Market for ONE thing.

Obviously, we get there and the oohing and ahhing began- well immediately. So many delicious looking things. I could not help myself. Anyways here are the pictures, as you can see no zucchini blossoms but lots of other goodies.

Collards, egg plant, corn, green beans, heirloom tomatoes, blackberries, watermelon, okra and sugar snap peas. Yes I know we got green beans and corn from the CSA on Wednesday- but they were already gone. I really do love green beans. The heirlooms were too pretty to say no to. I think they are going to become a caprese salad one day this week. I was excited to see they were selling partial watermelons. Usually we can never eat a whole. Of course we get home and its so juicy and ripe that I wish we had gotten a whole one. Then Chris chimed in with yeah we should have gotten a whole one we could have made watermelon margaritas or martinis. I just gave him the evil eye. I mean honestly do not come up with these amazing ideas after we have come home with only part of a watermelon. Oh well there is always next weekend.

Chris wanted the collards. We had plenty of greens just a few weeks ago from the CSA but apparently he is already missing them.

Also from the Farmer's Market, I got this beautiful bouquet of flowers. It just looked so happy I could not say no.
