I visited Chicago's Green City Market this week to enjoy the local bounty that the city has to offer. There were apples stand after stand, but I stopped at this one because of the sheer variety.
I read all the descriptions and snapped a few pictures of the ones I chose so I wouldn't forget.

Despite the wet and dreary weather (hats off to the farmers who stick it out all the time), I happily carried home a bag of mushrooms that taste like chicken, a grab bag of apples, and two pots of sage and thyme.
And then just like a local leaving the local market, I rode the bus home.
This reminds me: I need to put apple picking on the agenda this fall. Then I can get inundated with apples and have an excuse for eating cobblers and crisps for breakfast for at least two weeks!
