In Search of Red Beets
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
I stopped by the Bellefonte Farmer’s Market this morning. First we went out to brunch at the Café on the Park at around 10:30. I haven’t been there in months, and my mother had never been there, so we thought it would be nice to take her out.
I was looking for red beets at the farmer’s market. I did see one vendor with them priced four beets for a dollar. That seems a bit steep considering that I’m looking for at least a bushel. One of the other vendors may have had beets earlier, and since we arrived as everyone was closing up at close to noon, it is likely I missed them. I’m going to try again next weekend at Millheim since we’ll be over in Penn and Brush valleys for the annual Farm Tour.

Brunch at the Cafe on the Park
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
We went to the Cafe on the Park today for brunch. Actually, it was more like a late lunch, but since we were the only people in the place they allowed us to order from the brunch menu.
I had the spinach and sundried tomato quiche with fruit medley and toast. It was actually one of the better quiches I’ve had, with a flaky, buttery crust and firm egg custard throughout. I’m not big fan of spinach, but I’ve been trying to eat more of a variety of vegetables since my doctor has basically told me if I don’t get some things under control soon we’re going to have a “Conversation.”
I’m glad to see the place is still open, and feel bad that I haven’t been there since this past summer. Hopefully we can make it there more often on the weekends.
