The local farmers markets are at their peak right about now – there’s more variety than you’ll see the rest of the year. Blackberries go for about $3.50 a carton, and, no, I won’t be making any bad puns about communications devices here.

Pumpkins as far as the eye can see

They are so darn cute, these small pumpkins. They will mostly be used as seasonal decoration rather than cooking ingredient, even though they are not difficult to cook. Cut pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds, then toss it in the oven for 90 minutes or so. On the other hand, pumpkin in a can in ready to go and makes a delicious pie, and the recipe is handily printed on the can’s label.
Someone left the eggplants in the rain

Fortunately, eggplant is water resistant. The farmers markets have all the fall vegetables, including cauliflower, broccoli, broccoflower (green cauliflower), and a couple types of eggplant.
Heirloom tomahtoes

They are probably tasty, but I’m not ready to shell out this much for tomatoes. I have real, non-vegetable, heirlooms that are not this valuable, per pound or otherwise.

Gray and cold, it’s beginning to feel like the sun hasn’t been out in days. The farmers market had about three vendors at a peak hour and few shoppers, not even Brooklyn Bridge tourists who wandered off course. I can’t tell you what produce was available because I was too cold to stop. Just purchased a greasy doughnut for 75 cents. My sidekick and I are working toward sampling the jelly-filled version for one dollar. Our hesitation has nothing to do with price; it’s all about texture. The red-purple jelly might lighten the doughball’s density, but I’m not optimistic.
