marshmallows in black coffee!!

I finally bought some coffee to make at home! I bought it from work for convenience. I thought it might be better if i made it at home, but it still tastes funny. HOWEVER putting marshmallows in coffee is a great idea! I'm very happy with it.

It was rainy this morning but i went to the farmer's market. Since it's October (and i guess i only blog in the fall) i thought i should buy a great deal of apples. They didn't all fit in the bowl.

And as planned i got some vegetables. Beets, a couple squashes, white corn (Farmer Jay said it was the best corn i'd ever taste), an eggplant and some carrots. I spent the rest of the morning reading through the huge stack of vegetable cookbooks i got from the library this week and i now have plans for most of the produce. Besides soups i never really had a good idea of what to do with vegetables, but in Japan we ate them in so many ways... so i've decided to learn some new things.

I can't remember what kind of squash this is. I want kabocha but i haven't seen it anywhere this year.
