Our first venture to the market on Saturday morning was a bit overwhelming, as most of the venders don't speak English and we still have no idea how to communicate, since everything is sold and priced by the kilo.
So instead of buying individual/pounds of apples, you buy a fraction/whole kilo of apples...confusing, as I still have no concept of how much 2.2lbs of apples really is.
We did succeed in getting everything we need for a fabuloso dinner, eggplant! I was pretty proud that without any clue, I was able to create an edible sauce from the bland, straight-up tomato sauce we had purchased from the supermarket. So Renae and I enjoyed our first meal, the 900 dishes messed to create it, and a bottle of local regional wine purchased from the most adorable and enthusiastic Italian grandpa.
