Thanks to a super hectic schedule and working lots of weekends, today was our first trip to the Oak Park Farmer’s Market this year. Soon after we arrived, however, we remembered why we love it so. We often settle on a theme — tiny food, abnormally large food, speckled food, things we haven’t tried — but today the theme was Produce That’s the Wrong Color.

In the bounty we have:

• Purple Bell Peppers
• Purple Fingerling Potatoes
• Orange Cauliflower
• White Eggplant
• Tiny Purple Cabbages (yeah, red cabbage isn’t THAT weird, but still, these are TINY purple cabbages!)
• Purple Basil
• Sweet White Onions (sweet onions are supposed to look like Vidalias… not pictured
• And a perfectly yellow spaghetti squash that just looked pretty in the picture

This week is going to be quite the cooking adventure. I can’t wait to try some fun, strangely colored recipes!
