Again another wonderful day, blue skies, sunshine and no wind. Temps into the low 80's F perfect. Couple walkabouts nice and early love the fresh morning air, then into Downtown Forest for the Friday Farmer's Market shortly after 8 am. It is a small market but did pick up some local things, a beefsteak tomato, no doubt hot house but local, some fresh made lemon/cranberry scones and a litre of fresh local strawberries. The berries are expensive compared to the ones from California , but OH so sweet and juicy, a real treat for us that we look forward to. A few vendors here for one block on the main St of downtown Forest, with some nice fresh food stuffs.

This is what I bought, lemon/cranberry scones, strawberries and a Beefsteak tomato bacon tomato sandwich for lunch, awesome. |
Got home and this squirrel is having lunch at our picnic table so I checked to see what he was eating. And I found out the key's from the maple trees have a tasty seed and all these guys are having an endless buffet right now. They found a good deal and called all their friends to the feast.
endless supply of these here looks tasty. |
this is why all the squirrels, these keys are the buffet |
tasty seafood salad |
sure is nice to have our awning back |
these small cans of sauerkraut, perfect size, but have only found them in Niagara Falls New York |
wrapped up and at least 90 minutes on the Weber Q On Low, the longer the better |
the grill mat even leaves grill marks too |
was so very tasty |
Still a nice mild night so more reading and computing outside until 9:30pm, loving this wonderful weather. Summer almost here.
Thanks for stopping in and hope y'all come back soon.

Lucky you. You always seem to find the best markets !
ReplyDeleteThis market was small but had what I wanted. Fresh local stuff.
DeleteSo you are having a squirrel fest at your site. I'll let all our squirrels know. They should be arriving soon.
ReplyDeleteGee thanks, the more the merrier.
DeleteWe always enjoy visiting farmers markets. I didn't realize that squirrels ate the maple seeds - never too old to learn something. That is one fine looking meal.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know they eat them either, until I actually say them doing it.
DeleteThe ribs were so tender and tasty.
We have been on a strawberry binge at our house. They seem to be extra good this year. And that would be my kind of farmer's market - small and not a whole bunch of people.
ReplyDeleteThe fresh local berries are very good this year like you said. Small markets are nice and getting there early can avoid any crowds too.
DeleteGotta love small town Ontario, dinner looks awesome! Ribs here tonight with a nice coleslaw...
ReplyDeleteSure do love small towns.
DeleteRibs yummy ...
Every once in a while one of your posts remind me what I want to do. Usually related to your recipes. I have them all printed and in a binder, nice and handy but I forget what is in there! I have ribs in the freezer and want to do this again but don't eat the big jars of sauerkraut often enough and have to throw half of it out. I wonder if it freezes? The little can looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteSauerkraut freezes wunderful , zip lock bag.
DeleteI think your meal looked much better than what the squirrels are eating, but then, what do I know? ;c)
ReplyDeleteI know it tasted pretty good to us, not fussy bon maple keys.. lol.....
