Adelaide Farmers Market

I am a market FIEND

 Now do not get me wrong, I love the Central Markets

I am yet to post on them

But I grew up shopping at the Willunga Farmers Market

And now it is in the city on a Sunday Morning.

You know where to find me.

So much fresh fruit and veg

Apples in countless varieties...

including my favourite Sundowners

Native flowers

Local cheeses, milk and yogurt.

Cured meats, dried fruits and freshly baked pies.

This place is my food utopia!

Sugar Rush

Ok, So anyone who has ever seen me eat knows that I'm a sugar fiend.

I look at the dessert menu before entree. Everytime.

Golden North Ice Cream.

I am pretty sure you can only buy it in SA.

It is undoubtedly one of my favourite ice creams!

Especially the honey flavour.

(Which won a gold medal at the Show last week)

Nippy's Orange Juice.

Is also a product I have only ever seen in the south.

If you can squeeze your own juice for breakfast, great!

If you can't... no worries, Nippy's tastes just as good!

You know that hangry thing people get? 

That's me in the morning before juice.

There is a product that all South Aussies know is missing from this post.

Farmers Union Iced Coffee.

That can get it's own post another time.

Not too bad? 

When it comes to food in Adelaide, things can get pretty darn good!

It's Show Time!

I got the impression from people that I am too old (or not old enough) to go to the show

Obviously I wasn't there for the rides and show bags.

But I do love the baking displays...

I dream of entering something, someday.

(I'm pretty much a CWA lady in disguise.)

And the animal displays...

In good timing, 

the rains came in just after I had just finished wandering the halls.

Not too BAdelaide? 

Actually the show is bloody great! 

Birthday Baking

Today is my dear Aunts' birthday

tonight we are going out for dinner 

so I made this cake that I have been coveting from The Kitchy Kitchen!

It's an upside-down peach and lavender number
I spent the morning in the rain in aim to pinch a lemon off a neighbours tree
(where else would one get a lemon from?)
and picked the lavender on the way back!
and having no can opener had to go ask my favourite neighbour if I could borrow hers

All in all, the cake looks like a success 
Can't wait to feast tonight!
