pumpkin time again

once again, it was date night. this time, we headed over to whole foods to try out their big salad buffet and hot bar. it was towards the end of the evening and we just didn't care for the selections-some looked like they had been out to long and others just didn't interest us. we knew about the little bar over by the produce section and we decided to try it out. they have a limited menu and you sit at a bar and watch them cook your meal. you can even purchase meats or fish and have them cook it fresh for you. we opted for the menu. darry had the fish and chips and i had a pulled chicken sandwich. the fish is freshly battered and fried and it was an extremely generous portion, well cooked and worth waiting for. the chips, potatoes, were a little disappointing-very dark and not at all crispy. my sandwich was made from freshly pulled chicken simmered in a light sauce and served on freshly baked bread with a tomato-cucumber salad. the meal was good; the portions were generous and prices were reasonable. we will go back, the service was friendly and the menu changes seasonally.

up at the farmers market, it was easy to find the apples. we chose some mutsu, macoun and arkansas blacks.

smileys of ridgetop always has beautiful eggplants.

we were after pumpkins and there were many to choose from.

i like the warty ones and apparently so does every one else-there were a lot of them. they are called galeux d' eysines.

beautiful mums, a sure sign of fall

more pumpkins

i love to look at all the different kinds lined up for sale.

these green ones reminded us of geese, too much time spent playing with food...

indian corn, not this year-those hooligans have planted squirrel corn all over my yard!!!

if you love fall, check out the music and molasses photos on the view from the demo garden, happy fall!
