Wow, I am impressed both with how much you bought and what you did with it! Looks great, especially jealous of the sausage.

Lovely shopping trip! My friend, Scarlett (and other friend, Elizabeth) told me that the Portland Market was awesome! How lucky you are!

Our market is extremely small - but, at least there are several within a few miles of each other and on different days.

Can't wait to see what you bought this week!

We had the pleasure of tasting and then buying up most of the rhubarb/granola/blueberry bars that Tuva Bakery set out at the Maine Crafts Show in Bar Harbor some summers ago. It was hard watching the disappointed faces of small children and the elderly as they came looking for the bars, only to be offered something else.
Tuva is an elusive group but wonderfully gifted innovative bakers. They are in Lincolnville 04849, tel. 207-763-4349. As technorati, we were frustrated at first by Tuvan Ludditism since they apparently don't want a website, but we called their number and a very kind baker actually and very patiently dictated out the recipe for these fabled bars on to our telephone answering machine, so we have it. The ingredients are of such high quality and abundance as we thought when we saw them, and as we knew once we had tasted them, that the price of several dollars per bar was not unreasonable. We planned to have them accompany us all the way to Quebec, but they didn't make it out of the county.
I would estimate that a steady diet of Tuva bars AND exercise would yield a life expectancy of close to 200 years! Must be the food of Shangri-la of Tibet in the old book and movie, "Lost Horizon," even though Tuva itself is in Mongolia.
