I love sunny Saturday mornings spent wandering about the Powerhouse Markets. It is so refreshing after a week spent in an air-conditioned office and the fact that the skies cleared enough for a little sunshine to appear made me all the more glad to get out and about. While James caught up with Stuart for breakfast at Lady Marmalade, I met up with Caroline for a market breakfast of my favourite
pain au raisin from the French Sin patisserie stall and a Merlo coffee to clear the cobwebs before meandering our way through the produce stalls. Fresh figs, basil, rosemary, mushrooms, garlic, semolina pasta and big bunches of pink asters were my picks. The flower lady called her asters recovery flowers as they were the first plantings to bloom after the Queensland floods. After posting about Parisian macarons during the week I was reminded to try the local market macarons... and they did not disappoint! Tiramisu, Lavender and Pistachio, yum! Oh dear...
What a smiling, relaxing, sunny, feelgood post :)
ReplyDeleteI have actually had kind of same saturday here in Oslo. My bestfriend picked me up and we went to two different markets to marvel over all the things we'd love to by, paint and display. Could not afford any of it and went happily for tea in sted. The sun has been out and its been 20 degrees. Finally winter let go of its grip :)
It sounds like you had a lovely time! Exploring markets with a friend is definitely a fun way to start the weekend :) The weather must be beautiful where you are at the moment... enjoy Spring!
