Fresh and Local No. 3

Honey tangerine;  brook cherries from Joe Gotelli and Sons Farm (brook cherries are a bit more crisp and tart than bing or sweet cherries); organic Old World Portugese cheese from Spring Hill Cheese Co. ; red and yellow bell pepper slices from "the cucumber lady" - - someday I'll have a conversation with the ubiquitious cucumber lady (known as such because she always has the earliest and best cucumbers at the market) and find out her real name; organic red leaf lettuce from a new vendor I'm just checking out; and organic raw almonds from Full Belly Farm.  White cloth napkin placed under food for presentation and to give it some stability during transport.

waste generated: none :)

What? No parchment? Are you having withdrawal symptoms? I don't know if you should ask the name of the ubiquitious cucumber lady - a little mystery is nice sometimes.

Mocking me is unkind and could lead to a relapse and serious parchment overuse - -I've heard it is a great medium for paper mache. . .

OMGosh, why did I not think of bell pepper circles? I always slice them in strips or squares, and have on occasion tried something like a star, but it never occurred to me to just cut the entire bell pepper in circular pieces. I probably shouldn't carry on about it like this. But anyway thanks for the idea!
