What I would love to find out is that despite your obvious enchantment with raw vegetables and fruits, your daily diet consists of Big Macs and ChocoTacos.

Make my dream come true (lie if you must!).

Alas, my normal everyday diet has none of the sinful foods you listed!

My life would be a nightmare and probably would be over too soon if I ate that sort of thing on a daily basis.

But alas, I will do no cooking on Thanksgiving! We're spending it with family.

And you know there will be photos!

vibrant images. Thank you for sharing.

Have I ever told you how much I enjoy seeing these, as our own market season is so short???

I am always trying to make my farmer's market photos better. They can become routine so easily.

Well, maybe you hadn't mentioned how much you enjoy seeing them, but you've more than made up for that now. I can't actually remember!

Our markets are year-round since our weather is normally quite mild. It would be really difficult to get used to a shorter season. I count my blessings daily.

are a treat for the eyes and for the stomach too. 🙂. TY for sharing your bounty, CaliforniaPeggy!

I love the unique mushrooms you always seem to find.

The sweetness of your words touches me.

And the mushrooms are sold by a particular vendor who comes every week. I know they wish I'd buy some, but I'm more into getting fabulous photos than I am of eating the mushrooms.

They do carry quite a variety.

I actually bring home much less than I photograph! I look for unusual shapes or colors or textures.

I do get some pretty stuff too, just for me and my husband to eat.

I too love the mushrooms!

They really caught my eye with that vivid color. It took me a moment to remember just what they are.

I was dazzled!



Happy Almost Thanksgiving to you and yours too, my dear Mousetoescamper!
