Saturday Morning

When I started this blog I intended to write about working in a bike shop. Lately though I find myself more interested in the things I see, the people I meet and the errands I run while on my bike. It has become my habit, on Saturday mornings, to hop on my townie and ride to the local farmers' market.

Today's Find: these wonderful green (and purple!) beans. I usually toss green beans with walnut oil and toasted almonds....but I was inspired by these multi-hued beauties and so I toasted black and white sesame seeds instead. I finished the beans with toasted sesame oil and coarse sea salt. Mmmmmm! (If you are wondering about the chopsticks, I always eat greenbeans with chopsticks. They work really well)



I rode to the beer-store as well. I wonder which IPA goes best with greenbeans???





Hurray: our apple tree is bearing fruit and they are delicious. I'll slice these to eat with cheese or, if I get reallllly inspired, bake a tart later.
