farmer's market

i recently heard about the little bitty farmer's market in st. andrews that happens once a month, so ivy and i checked it out this morning. there wasn't much to it, as i was warned, but it was fun to walk around, let ivy pet strangers' dogs, and browse all the goodies. i was pleasantly surprised! there was a variety of meats and cheeses, homemade chocolates, fresh breads and jams, etc. we scooped up some homemade cinnamon fudge, sausages, a beautiful "white cob" bread loaf (never heard that name but can't wait to try it!) and a chocolate krispy bar. i brought my camera but the batteries died after one picture. bummer! maybe i'll get some more next month.

fyi:

Cob, the name used in reference to a round bread roll, often crusty, in parts of the Midlands and North West, England.^[1] A cob more usually refers to a loaf^[2] of bread so called due to the shape, from the Anglo Saxon for "head". An alternative source of the term cob in reference to a bread roll is the similarity in shape and size to a cobblestone.

there you have it!
