Visited the farmers' market where vegetables had been kept by the organic German stall (onions, carrots, celery, celeriac, garlic, leeks, tomatoes, parsley, broccoli, salad greens, chard, and two boxes of their superb organic, free range eggs) for me.
(I had phoned them on Thursday, and discussed with them what they still had available, - they grow everything themselves, and, with the onset of winter, the season is winding down, now, which means that they have less to sell), and we agreed on what they would keep, or put aside, for me).
I also bought some seasonal apples, some chilli peppers, some red and green peppers, (they were out of aubergines/eggplant), sultanas, - caponata beckons some day soon - and olive oil.
And I also dropped into the French bakery to collect my bread (rye bread, and a campagne baguette) - again, I had phoned ahead, on Thursday, asking them to put aside the bread for me on Saturday, as they tend to have sold out of some of their breads that are in high demand - such as their rye bread - very early.
Moreover, as I had several bags, I treated myself to a taxi home, and used the advantage of wheels at my disposal to buy some beer (and crisps - chips, to Our Transatlantic Cousins).
