Oh, where has the time gone? I woke up this morning and realized that there would be no eating fresh in this house until I went to the market. Good morning! Today is #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle (that is me! ) It is off to the market for us, pronto. Hurry up and get dressed. It is late and we need to get out the door.
You can come in your pajamas, but, I guarantee you will be stared at or arrested, depending on your state of dress. :)
The cucumbers were all lined up in neat little rows. I have a craving for a cucumber and avocado salad. All I need are avocados, cucumbers, garlic, green onions and chopped cilantro. I already have the lemon and limes - and a squeeze from them will finish it off nicely.
I love these little yellow peppers. I ask for one pound and wait while the woman weighs them out for me. Peppers of all colors are loaded with antioxidants and a great source of vitamin C. I picked the yellow one this week because its sweetness pairs nicely with the recipe that I have.
I am mentally writing down ingredients I need for the next few days of food. I spy the chili peppers and tomatoes needed for a bean dish.... my day is much easier than I had anticipated. They were the perfect ripeness for my needs.
"Ten pounds of broccoli please?" Hehe... Just making sure she was paying attention to me. I only need about ... Yes! That is perfect. In case you didn't know, broccoli is one of those nutritional powerhouses. What it contains is a blog all in itself. Never skip our on your broccoli. :)

Onions and Squash and that is it for food. I gather these up and head over to the flowers. Who can possibly eat without flowers on their table? ;) Well, okay... But, only if I have to.
Lilies always make such a beautiful statement. I will look no further and have them wrap them up and sigh to myself, considering this to be a successful #MarketFriday after all.

I was basically CRAWLING my way around the fresh fruits and veggies. My sciatic nerve decided to make a scene right at the entrance! Bought the tiniest of bananas, seemed like the were meant for toddlers or for very tiny people. 😄
Yikes!! Need a stroller?
I always wonder what to do with a cucumber. This sounds delish. Taking it with me and will give it an upvote later. After the 30 minutes so you get the full payout.
Thank you so much! That is so kind of you! I appreciate your thoughtfulness and good luck with the cucumbers. They are really good this way. Let me know if you want more recipes for them. I love my cucumbers! :)
Have a fabulous Friday!
I really must try this idea. All I ever do is have them in a dull salad :)
I think you might like it! 😎
This is what my mom did with cucumbers and I still make it and love it!
Sometimes I peel them first, sometimes not...a quick vid, just for you @molometer
That looks interesting Paul. You got some kind of science experiment going on there? lol Better hurry up and have a go at this as summer is on the way out already :)

We have to quit meeting like this, Denise! I see you have the vegetables covered for the weekend so I took care of buying fruit today. Love your post - upvoted and reSteemed. Happy Market Friday!
Here are my items. Hope I didn't miss anything from the grocery list!https://steemit.com/photography/@ninahaskin/market-friday-the-time-is-ripe-original-content
Oh, yummy!!! These are totally delicious looking! Your photography skills are exceptional. Thank you for these! xoxo
Thanks so much Denise - honestly, it's all the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge cellphone camera's doings!
:) Oh, you are so good!!! Thank you for your ongoing support and love, love, love!!!
Should we call it Market Friday, or Medicine Friday because the power of vegetable healing is incredible? I can't participate today since it 5 pm in Croatia already, but next Friday I am sure I will. :)
Hvala !! I know, right? Medicine Friday sounds right! :) So that you will know for next time, because we are on a sliding time zone, some people in Europe and the Far East post anywhere in close proximity to Friday. No appointment necessary! I understand the time difference, but, appreciate the visit! Thank you and I look forward to a day when it is convenient to you.
We should start Medicine Friday as a new challenge and share maybe health benefits of certain vegetables and fruits. :) I will participate for sure next Friday. :)
Looking forward to it! :))

Fabulous photos! Oh the cucumbers, so green and shining, the photo is amazing!

It´s my imaginary working, I always visualize myself in a French movie or so... lol, well done!
Thank you so much for the awesome comments!! I love the flowers at the end, it is something that I look forward to!! A treat at the end of all that shopping!
Au Revoir!!! :)
Au revoir, madame <3! Have fun!
Well in the winter I wear those plaid flannel-ish pants that are technically PJ's. ..not been arrested...yet ;)
Oh, dear! I was talking about those that dress in the altogether :)) Those might be arrested if they go out. I really should have reworded that! LOL
And it is possible you might be arrested. Send pictures for a vote.
Does a video count? lol
Shhh! I am watching it! LOL
That was hilarious! OK- you win. :))
Nobody wears those out over there? I was hoping to start a new fashion trend. I think of it as Michigan redneck lol.
Actually few and far between except near the Universities. Hey! Hey! I used to have a summer house in the Upper - you troll!!!! :))
Great shots! Modern still lives.
:) Some days! Thank you for visiting the #MarketFriday Challenge!
Congratulations @dswigle!
Your post was mentioned in the hit parade in the following category:
Thank you for the shout out!
survival mode :) you bought a lot. I like pepper. what time is dinner? :)
Dinner is in 1/2 hour! Come on over! There is plenty!! :))
You made a wonderful, healthy shopping! I will definitely come to you for dinner :))) I like everything you bought except hot pepper. By the way, in Israel you can go shopping in pajamas in the morning and no one will arrest you and even pay attention to you. You can go to pajamas not only to the market but also to the supermarket :)))
They do that here also, although mostly teenagers. I meant that some people sleep in the buff (nude) and they might get arrested going out that way! :))
Those peppers looks great. I want some.
;) Come & Get It
Nice dear friend :)
Thank you!! I hope you have a wonderful Friday! Thank you for stopping by #MarketFriday!
What a great treat! Enjoy your week of feasting.
Thank you!! I would be a liar if I said I wouldn't! :) Have a fabulous day!
