Just
had the Daylight savings time change over the past weekend and the
days are getting shorter and shorter, colder and colder now. It's
only early November, but I have been wearing my winter coats for
nearly a month (while everyone else still has their thin fall jackets
on)!
I
also noticed that the farmer's market now has fewer vegetable stands.
Besides apples, potatoes and a few other vegetables, one thing I
still see a lot of is tomatoes (see photos below). The end of the summer and fall season
are the best time to buy fresh tomatoes and to make your own homemade
tomato sauce. The result tastes better and is healthier than using
canned tomatoes or buying canned sauce. The cost of fresh tomatoes
here from the farmers' market is really affordable compared to what I
used to pay at NY farmer's markets. You can get about 7 lbs. of
tomatoes for only $6 (Canadian dollars)! It would be hard not to take
advantage of such a good deal!!
