These are the remainder of the images I promised from this post. Perhaps like me you find yourself stopping at many of the road side small shops and stands selling local produce this season. I can’t get enough of it and every weekend make sure I get me vegetables, fruit, eggs and now meat from our local growers. I bought turkey sausages for the first time yesterday from one of my local neighbours, and I can actually feel myself more interested in cooking and especially eating when I know what I’m consuming was grown and raised within a few kilometers from home.
Last weekend some 
On our way to Chadsey Cairn’s Winery we stopped for lunch at The Tall Poppy Cafe in Wellington, ON and this is some of what we ate and shared. And no, I was not happy about sharing the chocolate thingy you see above. You think I’m making that name up, but I can assure you I’m not. My friend Frank asked for, “the chocolate thingy” and when I turned around to see what he was referring to, the name on the card did indeed read: chocolate thingy. I love that, because ultimately that is a name we will all remember. And it was oh so good. That is a piece of white chocolate on top, not butter. It looks deceiving. We thought it was butter too, but it wasn’t.
