A feast for the eyes @ The Marché du vieux port

This is the time of year that I head down to the Marché du vieux port and pick up some freshness.  I always grab those mini onions for boeuf bourginon, a huge 50 lbs bag of red potatoes and something sweet.. because I just can't resist !  I'll make a few more trips this month for sure.

Today it was busier than usual, being the long weekend.  Even with the crowd I was albe to get some nice shots. 

Now, I can't for the life of me remember what these yellow beauties are, but I know they will be tasty.  The wonderful lady at the stand explained to me exactly how to cook them. (she told me not to peel them, blushes.. I probably would have !) I really admire these people, you can see the passion in their eyes, the way they handle the produce, always ready to help, explain...  

The textures, the smells, the colors...  everything is inspiring.  I can't wait to bite into the tarte au sucre later :)
