AT THE MARKET:
It's another winter market week this Saturday. I'm low on potatoes so I probably won't have any stew starters this week, but I'll have a few halved squash. I'm starting to get a bit low on those too, so this will probably be my last time attending the winter market until the spring flowers come on. Fingers crossed for a good spring!
