Saturday Market

Fall was certainly in the air this morning when I went to the Saturday Market. Fall products were a plenty.

 Fresh pumpkin.

Pumpkin soup: Sautee a large onion (or 2 shallots) and 2 teaspoons of finely chopped fresh ginger in a tablespoon of butter in the bottom of a big soup pan. Add 4 cups of water. Add a chicken boullon cube. Add chopped pumpkin (as seen above - large chunks), about 3 or 4 cups-ish. Cook for 20 minutes or so and then puree the soup. Serve with garlic toast. Yum!

Wow, look at these beautiful mushrooms!

Freshly roasted chicken and potatoes.

Choucroute: sauerkraut with sausages, german hot dogs, thick sliced bacon, ham. The best place to eat choucroute in Lyon is at the Brasserie George.

All varieties of onions, shallots, garlic, and spices.

Flowers.

Apples.

And all kinds of vegies.

Voila! Gros bisous du marche et a demain.

Love, Charley
