Before moseying into fall, I wanted to post some pics I took at the NC Farmer's Market in late June. My 13-year-old nephew was in town, plus it was my birthday, so it was a nice little outing, despite the sweltering heat.☺
Someone was selling vintage china with air plants sitting inside. I'm glad I was able to buy a teacup and saucer, along with a little bowl.
Butterbeans are one of my favorite late-summer things. How do I cook them? I put them in a pot; cover with water; bring to a boil; and simmer for 30-45 minutes. Sometime during that time, I add butter and salt. I like my butterbeans to be sitting in buttery "broth" when I eat them, so I don't cook all of the water out. After being refrigerated, any remaining liquid has usually been absorbed, so I add a bit of water (and some more butter) to my bowl before reheating a serving. Apple cider vinegar is also really good on them--as it is on green beans, black-eyes peas, and collard greens, btw ;)
I love all of the fun colors in these blossoms and buckets. There was a plastic tarp hanging above these, and someone saw that I was trying to take a pic of them and offered to hold it up so I could do so.
