Bringing Home the Turkey

November New Ampsterdam market was even more bountiful and delicious than last month. And the bonus this month was that my gorgeous thanksgiving turkey was there waiting for me when I arrived. Yes all 17.7 lbs of him. The next best thing is that I have a new camera to shoot all the gorgeousness that ensued under the bridge downtown... Some highlights included: Saxelby and Formaggio representing Essex Market, $3 Brisket, Porchetta Rolls, Luke's Lobster Roll, Baby turnips and root veg, gorgeous funghi and Oysters - all of the above by 11:30am breakfast!

High Sodium Diet...

While this quickly improvised cheese plate was not perfectly balanced, it did envoke happiness and fond memories of by its tasters... Pecorino (salty), Olives (saltier) and Radishes dipped in salt (saltiest).

Will rent room for Cheese...

Reality. Renting second bedroom in my apartment as I can't afford the rent on my own. Accompanying Cheese - gooey goodness from Paris on a monthly basis. Roomie lives part time in France and always arrives with a vacu pack of cheese and sausison! Yipee!!!!
Only bummer besides less personal space is that I don't have any info on these particular goodies as she didn't get the names. Cheese with the pressed fern leaf was unbelievable. Anyone reading able to identify?
