We almost overslept and missed the Farmer’s Market. This time of year, when the cold is just starting to creep in – under the door, into my bones – I have an even harder time getting out of bed.

This is what we bought for a total of $10.50…

Eight pounds of bruised tomatoes (about 3 pounds were bruised/soft/split beyond hope and I cooked them down into sauce), two cucumbers, one bunch of celery, a pound of Muenster cheese and a box of Brussels sprouts.

The tomatoes alone would cost about $16 so I feel I got a good deal for this time of year.
