Sunday food haul, Moneyball, cooking

/

The farmers market was great this morning- not too crowded, tons of wonderful food, the first major sense that fall is here with all the mittens, hoodies and last vestiges of summer produce. We scooped up two last quarts of my beloved Sungold tomatoes - my only qualm is how best to use them- and a large bag of peaches to brandy and put away for Christmas treats. As for the rest of our booty, whatever will I do with four bunches of beets? A huge bunch of Red Russian kale? With all the collards, I'm finally going to make the cobbler; that I know for sure.T and I are heading out to see Moneyball this afternoon- nice little Sunday date!

Did a psycho wind come through town?

People, seriously, the ridiculousness of this morning can not be overstated. I 911'd our babysitter at 8:32a and asked her to come an hour earlier this afternoon. Please keep your fingers crossed that she can. T and I cannot believe it's just 9am. We were thinking about fun lunch spots to which we could schlep the children but then we looked at the clock. It was 8:57. Sweet jesus. Even Percy has been freaky this morning. It "feels like" 40 but we are off to the farmers market and other assorted errands. Last year, I bought a beautiful cinderella pumpkin and made this fabulous soup in it. You use the pumpkin as the pot- such a gorgeous tureen!

Ok, we're off. I'm sending vibes out to all of you that you and yours are calm and quiet.
