We had the day off from school on Wednesday, Sept. 23 so we visited our local Farmer’s Market (on Greenwich Street in lower Manhattan) with our mom.  We went there to give them our compost but the amazing fruit and vegetables inspired us to make a Farmer’s Market Lunch, primarily using ingredients from the Market.   It was simple but delicious and was based on the pears, tomatoes, mushrooms and corn on the cob we bought.  We added a few things we had at home and made a walnut, goat cheese, pear salad with the pears (and also had the pears for dessert), sauteed the mushrooms in butter and had them on sliced french bread, boiled the corn (it was super tender) and just sliced the tomatoes and drizzled them with extra virgin olive oil and a little salt and pepper.
