180: Hot stuff

Since I've been spending a bit of time in the kitchen lately I thought I'd indulge in a little herb garden. At the farmers markets last week I bought 3 little pots: dill, corriander and basil. So the weekend saw a trip to Bunnings to find a larger home for these herbs. I couldn't resist getting this chilli plant too, so the 4 are planted and happily sitting on the kitchen window sill. I've tried to capture as much light as possible through the leaves and to get a bright and fresh photograph.

154: City central farmers markets

Stumbled across some farmers markets in the city at lunch time today. What a nice surprise, there were some great stalls, a great lunch alternative from the usual selection of cafes as well as a great opportunity to pick up any fresh produce that tickled my fancy. These markets are located in the square outside the casino, apparently every Wednesday lunchtime, so if you're in the area make sure you pop by and check them out. I just loved these wintery looking veggies. The presentation was great too in the hessian bags with little tags pegged on. I managed to get just a little bit of maroon in the photo today too, with State of Origin on this evening: GO QUEENSLAND!!! Woo!
