Butterfly collection

For something completely different, here is some of the gorgeous produce I have acquired from the farmer's market. The three purpley ones are eggplants, the rest are various squashes.

This batch was mixed with some beans and a can of tomatoes and turned into a thick tasty stew. It goes well both with couscous and with biscuits and was even good mixed with scrambled eggs. I am a big fan of foods that lend themselves to lots of variations as leftovers.

Oh, one other thing:

Red leaves! Fall is coming earlier this year than it did last year. I am pretty ok with this.
