2016 January 18: A Trip to the Market

One of the GREATEST opportunities available in Germany to healthy food lovers is the wonderful markets and wide selections of fresh produce. This week my trip to the market proved to be a huge success! The season is right for storing up massive amounts of kale, fresh spinach, potatoes, and some produce I have NEVER heard of or seen before. One thing is for sure each time I go: I am amazed at the color and variety. I fell in love with one vegetable I had never seen until I moved here 16 years ago. Now I can’t get enough of it, and it happens to be in season. I don’t know what it is called in English or German so if you know, please send me a post. I call it the Broc-a-flower. Check out the pic! It is so good steamed and seasoned with plain old butter and herbs like the herb de province made in Sonja’s cookbook Paleo Home Cooking or my zesty mayo.

As far as the kale goes, well, I’m sure it was a bushel or was it a peck? I took it home, ripped off the leaves, filled the sink with water, and washed it. Then I spun it dry, filled 3 Ziploc Baggies to the top, pressed the air out, and put 2 of them in the freezer. I am cooking the other batch up for this week’s greens…usually, only last a day when I cook it with my organic bacon. It’s amazing when I take it out of the freezer to put in soups or cook up with eggs, and it still retains its shape, color, and taste. Now, let me finish digging to my carrier’s bottom to see what other treasure I bought.

Until later, Minnie.
