The market had a few surprises: Fresh mushrooms, a wonderful makataan (type of watermelon used to make jam) and compost, which we ordered a full load of for the vegetable garden. I went with my mom and together we collected a few bags worth of produce. Actually, a bit more than a few bags full as you should have seen the size of the makataan; we had to get somebody to carry it to the car. The market has a bit of kitch and a bit of cool. A lot of ready made food and brilliant coffee. Strolling through the stalls is probably one of the best ways to spend a saturday morning.
And then on monday I realized that I had a whole fridge full of ingredients for a meze style supper. Far too much food though for our family and that's how I ended up inviting my parents for supper, on a monday. This little impromto style dinner was one of my favorite dinners in a long time. So easy to put together, but so enjoyable. We sat outside and watched the sun set while eating and completely forgetting that it was the beginning of the week and not weekend yet.
Of course I had to do a bit of desert as well. I bought some croissants earlier and had fresh raspberries in the fridge and just made some custard. Easy to assemble and just as easy to eat.
