Calville blanc d'hiver and Bramley's seedling baking apples, Spitzenburg eating apples (my favorite!!), apricot almond cookies, 3 mushroom swiss handpies, 2 Nigerian (ground beef, peas, corn, carrots, ginger, onion, garlic, spices) handpies, a vegan peanut butter brownie, a snickerdoodle cookie stack, and a chewy ginger cookie stack.
I went to the market with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ellen_fremedon and the Vegan Knitter, because I'm currently not supposed to carry anything heavier than a gallon of milk (so, about 10 pounds) and can get tired easily. I have a basket with tote bag straps I got at MD Sheep and Wool two years ago that makes a good market basket if you're buying a moderate amount, so I brought that.
Because the dairy wasn't there this week, we also went to the local Whole Foods (half a block and up a stairway) so I could get a 1/2 gallon of chocolate milk, 2 persimmons, a can of fancy tuna, a loaf of challah (low-fiber bread! yay!), and raclette cheese. This Whole Foods carries 2 different brands of milk in glass bottles from local dairies, but you can't order either brand for delivery -- very annoying.
I am going to make this rice-and-tuna casserole using the fancy tuna, raclette cheese, and the last tomatoes from my garden.
Also, I ordered a new set of paring knives from Kuhn Rikon since the hardware store doesn't carry them anymore -- they come with their own sheath, very useful if you're carrying one in your lunchbox to cut up fruit -- and Kuhn Rikon sells small raclette sets for under $40. It might be fun to get one for a dinner party and make raclette, now that I know you can get raclette cheese locally.
