Early November at Headhouse Square

Friday, November 09, 2007

I finally made it over to the Headhouse Market last Sunday after nearly a month away.  I was amazed at how much gorgeous food was there now that we’re into November.  I got there just before noon which was perfect.  It wasn’t too crowded, there was still plenty of food left and there was lots of happy energy filling the block.  I spent $19.70 and got what felt like ton of food.  The haul included a bunch of beets, several additional loose beets, a dozen eggs, two gorgeous and tasty tomatoes (at $1.25 a piece they seemed like a bargain for this time of year), two asian pears, a big bunch of Swiss Chard, a bag of pea sprouts and a very bright orange squash. 

In addition to buying my groceries, I spent some time chatting with Jennie who was working at the Weaver’s Way farm table and I taught a woman an easy way to roast a squash (slice in half, scoop out seeds, put cut sides down on baking sheet lined with foil or parchment and bake until fork tender) while we were waiting in line to pay for our goods.  It was a good visit to Headhouse on all fronts.
