| Breakfast & Fruit Bowl |
Daily Tidbit: I spotted the first arrival of "Local" Apples at the Farmer's Market this week...meaning there was a bin of Apples that had no stickers on them from crossing state lines. They also happened to be much cheaper than the Apples with stickers on them. Variety: Sunrise. At 79 cents a pound, I went for them over the Galas which were $1.39 a pound. It was juicy and sweet
and not a far departure flavor and texture wise from the
Gala surprisingly. They are the product of a McIntosh and Golden Delicious mix. After doing more reading it seems that Sunrise are among the best "early season" varieties that can be enjoyed as early as August! To read more about Sunrise Apples or any other Apple you maybe interested in, check this out:

Breakfast: Joe's O's Toasted Oat Cereal with Walnuts & Blueberries
1 cup of Joe's O's Toasted Oat Cereal
1 cup of Fat Free Milk
1 cup of Fresh Blueberries
2 tbsp Walnuts
5 oz. Orange Juice
Regular Coffee, black
I was sad to see the Blueberries at our Farmer's Market were from Canada this week, meaning our Local season of Blueberries is essentially over until next July, a sad reminder that summer will be over soon!

| Homemade Samsa |
Dessert: Samsa Cookie & Sun Rise Apple
Samsa is another Algerian Pastry Cookie, made with a puree of Almonds and sugar, wrapped in pastry, fried in a pan on the stove and then tossed with Honey. Decadent & delicious!
Of course I had to eat an Apple to avoid eating more cookies, this strategy has worked well for me this week. Tomorrow I go for the Apple first!
