Anyhow, yesterday I decided to check out the Yandina markets, as I’d never been. I usually go closer to home but on a Noosa chef’s recommendation, I checked it out. I am SO glad I did!
Speaking of find, I also picked up this authentic ’80s Care Bear for $3! It’s in wonderful condition and there were two of them. There was a LOT of cool trash and treasure at these markets, tons of stuff I will be filling bags with next time I go. It’s like time has stopped out there and cool things have just been waiting for me to come along and collect them! I also bought a gorgeous little pearl and silver antique pendant for $7. A vintage globe has my name on it for next week. I almost spent the fruit + veg money on trinkets.
Anyhow, onto this week’s meals:
* fettuccine with asparagus, pea and mint
* cannellini bean and haloumi salad with roasted tomatoes and kale
* tacos!
* Schnitzel with roasted pumpkin, potato, parsnip, and a pea puree
* Soba noodle stir fry
Pretty easy stuff, but pretty delicious too. I’m going to play around with sundried tomato, feta and kale savoury muffins, and make some date and coconut balls for the baby.
Yay!

July 22, 2012 at 12:06 amI still have my treasured 80s care bear! I clearly remember being in an op shop with Mum and begging her to buy it for me – I must have been about 6 at the time. It now lives in my daughter's toy basket. That was one well-made toy!

July 22, 2012 at 3:55 amI love ladyfinger bananas! I'm hoping Abby will too. My kale is just growing back now, I've been eating soooo much of it! Never had it with apple though…

July 22, 2012 at 3:56 amWe were too poor, so I never had one! I was very sad. Possibly only getting over the trauma now that I've found one haha xx

July 22, 2012 at 9:00 amWhen I go to the markets…I am in Brisbane so I go either to West End or to Kelvin Grove…I usually end up spending my fruit and veg money on other bits and pieces! I have to force myself to walk by the trash and treasure tables and focus on produce!
Sounds like a yummy menu for this week!

July 22, 2012 at 10:38 amHow amazing is kale. I discovered it just recently (yep, Lame-o me) and now you've added to my wonderment of this fabulous leafy gem. Out of the vase and into my tummy! 🙂
