Now THAT'S a Color Palette - Saugerties New York 12477

Spent the weekend with our grandchild, Isaac, in Saugerties New York and got a chance to visit the Farmer's Market.

While I often look to nature for my color inspiration, it's usually non-edibles that pique my aesthetic senses. But, while perusing the produce at the Farmer's Market, I got particularly inspired from these gorgeous cauliflowers-who knew that there are more varieties than the blah and boring beige? And who knew that Saugerties grew more than garlic, for which it is actually famous?

Well, we bought one of each and used them in our stirfry, over rice, and I must say, they tasted as good as they looked. I'm off to get some paint and fabric swatches to create a cauliflower inspired room. Love that purple and apricot together!

You are too sweet-but I think you are the cook - I'm just the photographer. Have you ever had these varieties of cauliflower Barb?

Joanna, beautiful colors. Your Farmer's Market has better assortment of vegetables. I've never tried purple cauliflower.

Beautiful colors! Imagine if you could say a future color palette in your home was based off of cauliflower. Thanks for sharing.

Hi John, I will definitely keep you in the loop-I think these colors are just awesome.

Anna, maybe it's because these varieties grow locally and need cooler weather?

Yes, I would love to find fabrics that are just these colors-the apricot and purple are amazing together.

Joanna,

Those are beautiful colorful cauliflower and Farmer Market rocks! They definitely look more appetizing in color and I'll bet a whole lot healthier too!

Thanks Joanna!

I love the colors! I have seen the apricot color, but never the purple! I've only ever eaten the blah color, LOL!

Hi Patricia, they were really beautiful and very delicious-we chopped and added onions, peppers, mushrooms and tofu and had a great stir fry,

The apricot color is so gorgeous and I love it with the purple-how can we go back to the blah color when we've seen purple???? LOL

Joanna- I love purple as well and love it when Mother Nature provides us with all of these beautiful colors. I'm not a cauliflower fan but eat it because you're supposed to!

Kathy, truth be known, I hate cauliflower but in the stir fry, it was terrific and looked so pretty-however, I wish broccoli came in so many colorful varieties-now that is my veggie of choice!

Sounds like a perfect weekend Joanna! You're right the colour choices look great together and must say love stir-frys especially over rice!!

Jul 24, 2012 10:16 AM

Yes, delicious over rice or lately trying to eat quinoa-do you like that too?
