Patty pans!!

The weather in Boston is soooooo gorgeous this week. Even though I'm stuck indoors practicing most of the time, I'm balancing it out with little bike rides and excursions on the bus to different parts of my new neighborhood. There's a farmer's market in Harvard square every Friday that I always forget about, but I happened to be catching up with a buddy at the Legal Seafood bar outside by the Charles hotel yesterday, which is directly next to the market.

As you might know already, I love me some patty pan squash. My Grandmommy says to look for the smallest ones, cuz they're the sweetest. I was so happy to see organic patty pans sold 5 for $2!! I'm serious!! The vendor was very kind, and also gave me a deal on 2 lovely heirloom tomatoes for $1.75.


I couldn't wait to try my squash!! I love their fun little shapes so wanted to keep them whole during the cooking process. Who could ever chop up a pretty patty pan? I had some new veggie broth i've been meaning to try, White Wine & Herb, so I brought about a cup to a simmer and dropped in my squash.


Covered, they only took about 6 minutes to become tender, and soaked up the broth, too. Yum!!!


Such a fab little veggie mini-meal!


Last night around midnight I enjoyed a lil' heirloom tomato with sel de mer. Summer is so great- I will really miss these little fresh veggie snacks in a few months!!

In other news, I'm excited to announce that I blogged this post from the BlogPress app for iPad!! My SONY net book was stolen in June, and since I do not have a smart phone, and my MacBook is slightly bulky for travel, I treated myself to an early birthday present! I have a feeling September is going to be full of birthday treats, but the tax-free weekend in Massachusetts was a good incentive!!

Ok... Here goes nothing! if you're reading this, you'll know the app worked!! =)
