Quail eggs, cracked-pepper goat cheese, ramps, porterhouse steak, morels, royal oyster mushrooms, asparagus, 2 tomato plants (Patio & Mr. Stripey), a dianthus, a petunia, 3 six-packs of brocade marigolds, and brown sugar kettle corn.

I'm going to try making compound butter with some of the ramps.
Ramps! (I am definitely taking some to Texas), a porterhouse steak, new potatoes, sweet potatoes, a bacon-gruyere pastry wheel, an almond croissant, a lemon curd turnover, 3 arugula plants, a curry plant, a dill plant, a lemon thyme plant, a serving pack of frozen lavender-lemon verbena lemonade and an unsweetened packet to make another 1.5L of it (will take to Texas next week, because the water tastes of mud and the temperature is already in the 80s), three pink lady apples (may take to Texas and make Dad an apple-shallot tart) and a boule of sourdough bread.

Compliments:Two different people stopped me to tell me that they not only liked my packbasket, but my entire look, plus one of vendors wanted to know about my monarobot Diplocaulus as a Mayan glyph pin, and the apple person said I "looked great, as always".
Today's look:
dusty sage green canvas jacket from Talbots (at least 6 years old, needs its buttons replaced because 2/3rds of them have come off)
made-to-measure flared jeans from eShakti
Metropolis belt from Jon Wye
Godzilla tab socks
Oboz hiking shoes
the Velvet Night button-down shirt from MorningWitch over a light green racer-back tank from Talbots
the Diplocaulus pin on the jacket lapel
a straw panama gambler hat
a trapper's packbasket that I bought at least 20 years ago from a fur-trapper's festival
a necklace of amethyst, sugalite, and south american jade beads I made for myself years ago
these Zenni cats-eye glasses I buy again every time my prescription changes
1/2 lb of cremini mushrooms, 1 large royal oyster mushroom, a bunch of chives, a pint of chocolate milk, a half-pint of berry yogurt smoothie, 1 lb thick-cut bacon, 1.5 lb bone-in chicken thighs, 2 lemon-ricotta waffles, 1 pear ginger turnover, 1 plum-almond tart, winesap, granny smith, crimson crisp, and pink lady apples, 1 ginger root, and cheese from Keswick Creamery (Vacchina Bianca [soft cow's milk, similar to halloumi or paneer], Blue Moon [brie-like with blue], Vermeer [Dutch-style, creamy, nutty], Vulkin's Folly [creamy, salty, dry, hard, washed with beer])

Also, it's Girl Scout cookie season, so I bought 3 boxes and talked up going to Swallow Falls State Park to see the waterfalls.
Spicy mix microgreens (arugula, broccoli, radish), lemon tart, almond croissant, mushroom leek pastry, Turkish vegetarian bean soup, rice pilaf, beet salad, 1/2 of mixed mushroom, dried mushrooms, leeks, beets, pear ginger turnover, walnut-carrot cake, molasses waffle, peanut butter whoopie pie, gingerdoodles, peanut butter cookies, and a boule of jalapeno cheddar bread.
Nittany apples, 2 tomatoes, leeks, cheddar cheese, beets, cilantro, quart of creamline milk, 2 heads of garlic, molassess waffle, pear-ginger turnover, bakery-made whoopie pie, 1 lb of cubed goat meat, and a dozen eggs.

I also stopped at the local Japanese bakery and tea shop and bought 2 red bean buns, 1 pork bun, 1 garlic twist, 1lb loaf of milk bread, and a slice of mango cake.

It looks like we might get as much at 6 inches of snow between Sunday night and Monday, so I will almost certainly be working from home on Monday.

I plan to make soup, and possibly chili, tomorrow.
Apple-pecan strudel, rump roast, small savoy cabbage, parsnips, beets with their greens, 1/2 gallon of creamline milk, fingerling potatoes, a bosc pear, apples (gold rush, granny smith, braeburn), lavender herbal tea.

I bought the rump roast because I really want to have sauerbraten, and I'll have to make it myself.
A pound of ground beef, a pound of pork belly (for Korean cooking), a conical cabbage (also for Korean cooking), a lemon tart, an almond croissant, a bacon-gruyere pastry wheel, shallots, green onions, bell peppers (for frying, chili, or pepper soup), a bulb of garlic, shallots.

Last week, I was lucky enough to find ground venison from New Zealand at the local Safeway, so I made chili. This week, I'll make spicy pork from Cook Korean! by Robin Ha, and maybe some more chili later in the week.

I'm also planning to make pffeffernusse for a holiday party next weekend.
Orange beets with their greens, snacking peppers, 2lb of purple peppers, a loaf of country white bread, gingerdoodle cookies, chocolate walnut cookies, bosc pears, arlet apples.
Brown sugar kettle corn, caramel kettle corn, a slice of blueberry cheese strudel, hardy kiwis, UFO peppers, potomac pears, arlet and lucy glo apples.
Went to Small Press Expo yesterday with [personal profile] greenygal. Among other things, I picked up some hockey comics for my small cousins.

Today, I went to the other market, so I have:

Apples, pears, plums, rasperries, scallions, chicken-of-the-woods mushrooms, chocolate milk, peach yogurt smoothie, and a sugar cube canteloupe.
Brown sugar kettle corn, caramel kettle corn, figs, Concord grapes, purple bell peppers, shishito peppers, freestone peaches, shennadoah pears, brown rice.
Watermelon lemonade, miyatake mushrooms, lemon tart, gruyere-bacon wheels, kouign aman pastry, fresh mozarella, a baguette, ufo purple chile peppers (which may be too spicy for any use I can make of them -- possibly one chopped fine instead of 3 serranos in peach salsa?), 3/4 lb of pickling cucumbers, a red bell pepper, chocolate chip walnut cookies, raspberry crumble squares, chewy ginger cookies, and cranberry ginger cookies.

I also have food from my friends overflowing CSA box: a slicer tomato, an asian eggplant, a bag of basil, beets, carrots, a coneheaded cabbage, and 2 melons (possibly sugar cube melons -- they're about the size of grapefruits).

I've roasted two heads of garlic and will be making a toasted caprese sandwich in a moment. I hope to make some muffin-cup frittatas with the mushrooms tonight and get a start on red-and-butter pickles (just like bread-and-butter pickles, but with more hot peppers).
A quart of plain yogurt, a pint of mango yogurt smoothie, a cup of raspberry yogurt smoothie, white nectarine lemonade, a half-pound of cremini mushrooms, 3lb of mixed value tomatoes, sungold cherry tomatoes, donut peaches (yellow and mango), casarecce from the grain alliance, bacon-gruyere wheel, lemon tart, 3 Pulled pork handpies,

I plan to make the roast beet and goat cheese sandwiches tomorrow with the red beets I got last week, but tonight I've made fresh tomato sauce with the value tomatoes and the basil from last week.

My manager gave me some cucumbers from her family's garden, so I plan to make bread-and-butter pickles tomorrow; I'll slice and salt the cucumbers early in the morning, and do the canning in the evening.
Blueberry lemonade, yellow and red sweet cherries (1 qt qnd 2 qt -- I plan to make cherry ketchup), dill plant, 2 basil plants, lavender plant, rosemary plant, a quart of chocolate milk, a dozen eggs, Jersey Gold (gouda style) cheese from Spring Gap Mountain Creamery, 2 Puerto Rican Style Chicken handpies, 2 Moroccan Spiced Chickpea handpies, a carrot cake slice, a lemon doodle stack, a chewy ginger stack, and a CSA medium share from Spiral Path Farm -- 2 slicer tomatoes, 2 cups of sugar snap peas, 2 cups of snow peas, 1 summer squash, 1 zucchini, 2 cucumbers, a bunch of garlic scapes, parsley, basil, red beets, and 2lb of potates.

I picked up a friend's CSA share this week (they're out of town and didn't want it wasted) and it reminded me why I don't buy one -- even with a medium share instead of a full share, it's too much food for me. I'd have to be living with another person for this amount of food to make sense.
Quart of black raspberries, quart of sweet cherries, 2 quarts of sour cherries, pint of blueberries, pint of saskatoons, 2 8-oz bottles of chocolate milk from the new dairy, masaco (pork-plantain-cheese) empanada, Old Bay shrimp empanada, nutella-banana empanada, 3 quesadilla handpies, 2 chile con carne handpies, a sage-sausage muffin, raspberry crumble squares, a chewy ginger cookie stack, a lemondoodle cookie stack, a loaded oatmeal cookie stack, and almond ginger butter cookies.
Bacon-gruyere wheel, mushroom-leek roll, a pint of saskatoons, 1/2 pint of red raspberries, a quart of strawberries, a quart of sweet cherries, 6 plants (2 shisito peppers, a Sungold cherry tomato, a dill, a parsley, and a chamomile), 3 samosa handpies, 2 chicken french onion handpies, a lemon brownie, a sage sausage corn muffin, a slice of carrot cake, a lemon doodle stack, a chewy ginger stack, and a loaded oatmeal stack.

I don't have enough saskatoons to make my usual saskatoon ketchup, but maybe if I add the blueberries I will. I use this recipe from Saveur.

Two compliments on my linen trousers -- they have an arabesque pattern of browns on a seafoam aqua background with orange accents in a gradient until the background is orange as the hem. I wore them with an orange linen shirt I bought from Talbots on sale specifically to go with these trousers.

Also, next week the produce stand I usually buy from said they will have tart cherries, so I may make a pie for Juneteenth.
