GRANPA IS SPOILED EATING HIS CIAMELLA

So I go to Grande every Saturday to get his ciamella.

No wonder after he eats one, he is not hungry for hours!!

GRANPA LOVES PRICKLY PEARS

So still cherries can be found. But Granpa loves prickly pears and so I bought some from Sobeys today.
He does not like sweets but he sure loves his fruit.

GRANPA LOVES SEASONAL FRUIT

Keeping cherries in the house is very difficult as Granpa loves them. Loves them a lot. So much so that Barb does not have a chance to eat a few.
The seasonal fruit is so good. The Niagara peaches. The tomatoes.
The golden plums.

Sample of what is available to all of us here in Ontario.
Now to go to another market. Which one? I will tell you later.
Granpa loves his fruit.

GRANPA LOVES TAKE OUT FROM MONTANAS

I get tired of cooking and shopping. So used our gift cards to get some take out from Montanas. Adolph or Granpa is very fussy so crispy chicken wings and a baked potato for him.
I had the steak faijitas with all the trimmings. Not only for Friday night dinner but brunch on Saturday. It was tasty and a change from our usual fare.
Even have a large salad to eat for dinner with my baked potato.

GRANPA LOVES THE MEMORIES OF CANADIAN MARKET FINDS

Part of the joy Adolph and I had from going to various farmers markets was the food we brought home over the years.

Those free range eggs for great pasta.

Produce and baked goods.

Summer to Fall. And again another year.

Some items like the eggplant can be preserved for another day.

The Canadian food scene is so prolific and delicious. Granpa loves to cook but he really loves to eat.

GRANPA'S FARMERS MARKETS MEMORIES

Although unable to manage outings Adolph has many memories of our market day trips in Central Ontario.

Toronto"s St. Lawrence Market was a hit.. 2012.
St. Lawrence Market

Having enjoyed ourselves. We headed off to St. Jacobs.
St. Jacobs Farmers Market
 We actually went there for two trips. 2012 and again 2014.

So looking for markets within a short drive. We found a small one in the town of Cambridge. Besides the market lots to see too.

Even local markets like Farmers Market in Thornhill

Or the one at our local Mall. Hillcrest. They still have one every Sunday.

Or a trip to Niagara area and those roadside stalls.

Aurora and Newmarket are up the street from us.
Aurora Farmers Market
Newmarket Farmers Market

That's Aurora. Now Newmarket.

A longer drive to Lindsay, close to a family hangout.
Lindsay Farmers Market

We even had a visit to the market in Collingwood when we were going on  a day trip.

Collingwood Farmers Market

Little trips to stalls and farms and wherever we can find summer produce and local homemade items.

No longer able to make those trips, I bring the goods home to Adolph.

Granpa always loves to eat.
