Re: Gallery: Boulder County Farmers Market, Colorado
What an extravaganza of colours ! That's the type of market I love. All the fresh produce in front of the counter so you can select your own choice. When I'm on the road touring I have to be reminded that I cant cook all those delicious vegetables. There's a few there I couldn't name - never seen them before ! Wonderful display !

Hello everyone DrFumblefinger, you are so right about the chocolate fountain. If it wouldn't have been for my family holding me back, I would've done the dive. Travel Rob and GarryRF, you are so right when you say the food looked too good to eat. I was rather conflicted when it came time to enjoy these delicacies...my stomach said "This is making me so hungry, eat it!!" but my brain said "Don't eat it for these creations are works of art!!" Eventually my stomach won the battle.

Hmmmmm....Dessert anyone?

Re: Hmmmmm....Dessert anyone?
Do you find Dessert first leaves no room for a main meal ? And secondly - if its that delicious - who cares ! It's not like you're doing this at home now - or is it ?

Re: Hmmmmm....Dessert anyone?
GarryRF, As you know if we were to constantly indulge in a spread like this, we'd be rolling in like beach balls instead of walking in. It's just a treat. Desserts at home are much simpler fare, but always enjoyed!

Re: Hmmmmm....Dessert anyone?

Pondicherry Eats
It’s been less than a month since I relocated from my former hometown of Pondicherry, where I spent more than a decade, to my ancestral hometown Kolkata. I have been busy catching up with friends and family after ages, but I know soon enough memories of my beautiful beachside town will come back to haunt me. I believe the best, and in many ways the worst, years of my life were spent there. So, for whatever it’s worth, I also believe that food not only unites but also heals. Food abides and...
