Farmer's Market

[omly]

We saw anotherjen briefly at the Davis Farmer's market yesterday. Sometimes I wonder if I am not more recognizable solely by the child in orbit around me.

We got some good stuff there: 2 sugar pumpkins, a giant butternut squash, gingergold apples, parsnips, sungold tomatoes, and a just a regular slicing tomato. I got the butternut just because of bbbsg's Baked Squash and Bean Soup sounds so good. I have no real plans for the pumpkin beyond toasting the seeds, but it is that time year. Ideas? I was thinking pumpkin soup, but that seemed a little to close to the squash soup to do close together.

The apples and tomatoes are just Tab and Roger's favorites. They will be sad once I can no longer get them for the season.

I like to make butternut squash pie and ravioli in the winter, but pumpkin also works pretty well in both.

What else goes in the ravioli other than squash/pumpkin?

I can't get to my recipe from work (don't ask), but it includes lots of sage, a little parmesan and a dusting of nutmeg for flavor. I use a small amount of egg to make the filling thicker when it cooks.
