Well, this is the first week that I've seen fresh apples at the market. With the cool weather we've been having the last week or so, it's amost beginning to feel like autumn.
I didn't buy any apples, but did buy some beautiful yellow peaches. When we were children, my father used to make fried peaches, with a little white Karo syrup on them. But what made them taste so good was that he'd make bacon first, and then fry the peaches in the same pan. I am thinking that might make a good Sunday supper, like when we were children.
The melons are in full force now, with loads of different varieties. During the summer we spent in the Costwolds we had the most lucious melons which looked like honeydew melons on the outside, but canteloupe on the inside. We ate them by the basket, but of course, we've all forgotten the name of them. 
I wonder if it's the French Melon that I bought this morning...
See you next week!
There were lots of late-season grapes on offer. Growing up, we had grape arbours at our house and this time of year, the grapes would fall and ferment. The bees would get drunk and fly around stinging everyone. Not fun!
Some of the root veggies are coming in, and there was a really good display of beets. All of the green had been lopped off and it looked like a bunch of spiky-heads lined up.
The lines for the peas are back in full force. I am not a pea/bean person, so I fail to see the excitement, but they're popular. There were black-eye peas, crowder peas and black beans, amongst others. Once they're gone, you've got to wait until the next week.
One of the prettiest things this week was a dahlia as big as a dinner plate. Beautiful cream colour and just huge! 
Another sign of the impending change of seasons was the variety of squash beginning to arrive. I loved these striped bi-coloured ones.
But these are the most obscene ones, and flesh-coloured to make them even more realistic!
Last, but not least, a beautiful punnet of Damsen plums. I remember these from childhood when my father used to make Damsen jam from them. 
Thanks, as always, for reading!
I was furiously snapping pictures of their amazing and interesting shapes and colours. 
The ones I found most interesting were the "hen-in-the-woods" variety.
The varieties are quite stunning, from big red bell peppers to small red chili peppers. 
For $23.00, including two drinks, an ice tea and a "coke", which the server told us was a coke-like product, not even the real thing, I think we over-paid by about 75%.
like these green zebra ones. I wasn't sure if these were the same as last week's yellow/red striped ones, but not as ripe, or whether they're a different variety.
We're thinking about doing a Baltimore Food Blogger Meet-Up @ The Sunday Market, on September 14th. Let me know if you're interested. More details will follow.
