Market Day

 

       The Sunday market at Ohope was a great morning out!  It was pleasant to be shopping in the sunshine and fresh air with the smell of coffee and fried foods wafting on the breeze.   Despite the fact that I had only recently had breakfast I found myself looking for a snack. It was hard not to as  I had plenty to choose from crepes, freshly made burgers, croissant/danish, home baking and the list goes on.
       The moment I saw these golden beauties I just had to have one.  Crisp and crunchy samosa filled with a spicy paneer and vegetable filling then drizzled with tamarillo chutney it hit the spot beautifully.  

 
 
Energised by my snack I continued on shopping I found damson plums and since I'd only ever seen  these tart deep purple little plums on television I had to acquire a couple of bags.  
 
 
Damson Plums



Oh Joy the smell of plum jam wafting through the house I didn't mess around I used my tried and true recipe http://brendalovestocook.blogspot.co.nz/2011/01/plums-glorius-plums.html




 The day didn't stop there I came home with smokey chipolte, a bucket load of tomatoes for sauce http://brendalovestocook.blogspot.co.nz/2011/03/tomato-love.html and some sensational sweet muscatels.  All in all a very productive shop followed by a satisfying amount of time in the kitchen doing what I like best.
