A Day of Inspiration...and Indulgence!

Irene may have not hit the city but boy did I...on foot!  I literally took the farmers market by storm on Monday since I was lucky enough to have a beautiful sunny day off.  I love the end of each summer in the city when you can feel and smell that slight change of season in the air.  The air is slowly gaining that crisp fresh fall feeling to it and the humidity is slowly saying farewell until the next summer season.


After taking this long walk on Monday through the market, and then an adorable quaint bookstore in the West Village where I encountered an old copy of Julia's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" and then finally about four cappuccinos later I decided it was time to go home to my kitchen and do what I love the most.


On the walk home I got to thinking about what I had seen that day, what I had picked up at the market and what I had home in my fridge...then it came to me...homemade wheat foccaccia with sauteed fresh onions, yellow tomatoes, red bell peppers, fresh basil, a touch of white truffle oil and a sprinkle of goat cheese.  Heaven in the oven:)


Although I don't have pictures for you yet of the finished product, I do have a few of the sights along the way...enjoy and stay tuned for more photos...
