Not only is the weather insanely warm, raspberries and tomatoes are cheaper than in summer.

    What recipes will you be using those in? 🙂 I want to make raspberry crepes now.

      I like raspberries so much that I don’t mess with them. I just eat them the way they come. Interfering with something so perfect would be a shame. 🙂

    Pie? Green salad with almonds and lemon vinaigrette? Mandarin oranges are cheap now too and they would also go well with said salad. A cream/goat’s cheese and basil cracker spread? Sorbet? I know you want it to be colder and more wintery right now – but I am the opposite. Just know that for some the warm weather is lifting the winter blues 🙂

    Driscolls are grown in the U.S. That’s the only reason I buy them all year round, haha.

    Clarissa, I am also loving the cheaper food prices this winter. Honestly, that’s my biggest dread about winter time. I think to myself “Okay, what am going to be able to get this payday?” and it’s always so much less in winter!

      Yes, these are Driscolls.

      We also have veal that is not priced horribly high like it usually is at the supermarket today. I don’t even remember the last time I bought veal.

    It is very interesting how you arranged your raspberries.
