The Down Shot

No need to intro, no need to waffle on.  It's all to do with the down shot and for once the market chick will let the photos do the talking.

 

 

Just enough for one

Whilst not necessarily a devotee of sweetness the 2095 market chick is not immune to the odd craving.

One of the delights she has discovered in her market travels is the "raw" and "gluten free" side of sweetness in today's food revolution (or should that be evolution?!). And it's not something to be poo-poo'd at.  Not at all! 

For these beauties taste sublime....not like in the good old days when if it wasn't main-stream it tasted permanently like cardboard and if it was destined to be "sweet" it more than likely had an overdose of saccharine....deeeelightful!

Having got that off her chest, the 2095 market chick would like to show off treats, sweets and all things naughty and even better than that: treats designed just for one!

ps: bet you can't guess which is the raw and gluten free....go on!  give it a try...be daring!

Kale....it's the new "black"

There is no doubt for this market chick that the singularly most sought after, photographed and talked about "super food" or in this case "super veg" is kale.  

As a photographer this vegetable is sensational to capture due to the various life forms it can take whether it be edible or decorative or even as the "drink".  

The adage "if it's green then it must be good for you" takes on an entirely new life form.  Kids are drinking, adults adore it, gardens love it, nutritionists can't sing its praises highly enough.

What is it about this nature's wonder that is (to the market chick's mind at least) has it at Number 1 for however many millions of consecutive months of the vegetable chart.

So as not to be left off the bandwagon the market chick felt duty bound to partake in the celebration known as Kale...... et voila!

Sugar and Spice and All Things Nice

Time to let the photos do the talking....let yourself be transported in to a world where things may "appear" to be deliciously sinful but looks can at times be deceiving!  For amongst these images there are quite a few which are "raw" and/or gluten free!  

The market chick likes to call that 'inclusive practices' (given she was a teacher in a former a life) and inclusivity is SO much more appealing and enticing than exclusivity do you not think?

But the question remains: exactly where were these mouth watering delights found? Hint...various locations around Sydney stretching from the East to the North (and for those who are regular subscribers it should be easily determined!).  The rest dear friends is up to you!  Go on that treasure hunt asap is the 2095'ers strong recommendation.

Time to spice things up

Spices: one of the oldest trades in the world.  It was an incredible valuable form of currency between such regions as Asia, North East Africa and Europe.

It's trade was the indelible "usher" for the European Age of domination in the East but for the 2095 market chick, it holds an intoxicating almost seductiveness about it whether it by colour or aroma.

It adds flavour, colour and a dimension that reaches new heights in the culinary world but one must be diligent in its use for too much can overpower, and not enough well...can leave your food tasting a little bit blah.

Thus the top 2095 market chickz choices are:
