reading terminal market food fest

seems like a million years ago that my friend jess suggested going to the reading terminal market and cooking up a storm with our tasty purchases.  just thinking about it makes me want to recreate the day all over again!

we started the trip off right with a delicious cookie and la columbe coffee while we attempted to narrow down the recipes we had poured through all week long in preparation for our food fest.

and now enter a day of food through the eye of my phone and retro camera app...

welcome to the market!! let the games begin!
probably made a mistake only getting coffee from here and not indulging in a cannoli right after our cookies!
making homemade pasta...papardelle, yum!
nutella creme brulee fresh out the oven
must have more pasta!!! 
cake pops from jess's mom and honey stix from the market
fresh chick peas lightly steamed with a little kick of chipotle
attempting to open oysters with a screwdriver and a mechanics glove...actually worked better than trying to find an oyster knife which seem to only exist in fish markets. 
only 3 cheeses?! cheese snobs in the market thought 4 would've been too much 4 people...dopes.  accompanied by grain mustard, honey and turkish figs.

apple, turnip and potato soup - so flippin' fantastic.  think it was a bon appetite recipe.
terribly out of focus picture of brussel sprouts, walnuts and raisins. 
pasta with a cream mushroom sauce...wish i had some of this in the fridge right now!
emma attempting to bring her stick inside.
 
one dessert is never enough so we made mini key lime pies too!
oh my my my, time to head back to the market because i'm STARVING!!

ps...this is what happens when there's extra fruit lying around...

YUM, now I am hungry all over again! My only regret is not saving enough room to finish both desserts :)
