We drove to Lindsay yesterday to visit our old friends and former co workers, the Wardens. Their farm is so intensely jealous making, it’s not even funny. I controlled my urge to pick up baby chicks, but I did get to scritch one of their black lambs. So cute. Wow.

This morning we all trekked out to the farmer’s market there, and I got lots of great stuff, including certified organic beets, red carrots and fresh garlic (smelly!), regular peaches and cream corn and some red skinned potatoes. We are having all of the above for supper tonight, with some lamb sausages, hopefully. If not, just a mountain of veggies with melted butter, salt and pepper. The beets are going to be a salad, on top of greens with vinaigrette and goat cheese crumbled on top.

Proof:

Aren’t the beets pretty? They are all colours, including chioggia beets, that are just beautiful. The good news is that the little person that lives here does not like beets at all, or salad for that matter, so more for me. Yum yum!
