Well, yesterday I had a great day with my boyfriend... we went to the farmer's market and came back with tons of stuff. I bought:
1 pumpkin
3 assorted winter squashes (one is butternut, one spaghetti and the other I'm not sure... I think it was called buttercup, looks like a small dark green pumpkin)
1 large bag of apples
1 huge bag of slightly damaged eggplants
2 large bags of red/green peppers
Last week I had also bought 10lbs of carrots and 10lbs of onions.
All together, that cost me around $25
After many hours of washing, peeling, cutting, shredding and roasting, I now have a freezer almost full of fruits and veggies for the winter ahead. I'm so proud of myself
(I'd be even more proud if I had grown the veggies myself, but my balcony garden is too small for that)
Ok, I still need to prepare the pumpkin and squashes, but that shouldn't be too hard. And we might go back to the market next week for some tomatoes, hot peppers and a few more things. I wish I had started that earlier because a lot of veggies are not really in season anymore.
My boyfriend also wants to try making some candied nuts. I've never had any, but it sounds yummy.
Is everyone else ready to survive the winter ahead?
