Love those pics! I hope you were able to savor golden raspberries MM! They are so much sweeter (but also much more delicate) compared to the red ones. I look forward to seeing them in late summer, but then also feel sad as they portend the end of raspberry season.

Top of the morning, MM. Love the pictures. Glad you enjoyed the market.

@bettyq…I am willing to get the recipe na lang for the ensaymada since I won;t get a share of the loot. I could make some with my recipe and you could critique it and tell me what I did wrong. Hope I can join the next getogether in Vancouver. I will be in Vancouver this Halloween, are you free?

Market like this is one of the many reasons I love living here in N. America, especially the Bay Area. We have so many choices of berries, fruits, veggies, ah food period. When my sons came back from having stayed in PI for a couple of years to learn Tagalog, they say it’s the food market, groceries that they’re glad to see again.
We can go places for some fresh blueberries (organic or not) or whatever is in season. Gotta love California, gotta love the Yay Area, the best weather, good food, good looking people everywhere.
I feel so blessed that I come from beautiful places like here and of course the beautiful part of Quezon Province (Lucban – good food too and can’t wait to go visit again)

I regret not having enough time in Vancouver to visit Granville Island…we were there just a couple of days ahead of you. It was hard to choose where to go & what to do in a city that has so much to offer. We rented bikes & explored Stanley Park then walked around Gastown instead but couldn’t take Granville Island market off my mind…I appreciate your photos & write-up!

Excellent photos, the fruits are just so lovely to look at and I’m sure they taste twice as good! I love hydrangeas, nice assortsment of flowers they’ve got there. Btw MM or bettyQ, second to the last photo, I noticed quiet a few “green fruit” (?), some looks like hanging from the ceiling inside a glass container or so, what is that if I may ask? Are those for sale or just for display? :)
