Even though I've gotten great peaches, melons, okra and corn this summer, my best farmers market purchase of the season so far was made at the Yum Brownies & Biscuits booth at the Pepper Place Market. I chose an almond cream, but I could have had cherry pistachio, ginger bite, peanut butter, mmmmint or salty caramel pecan. On Saturday, you could have any one of those flavors — or chocolate chocolate or fireball!

As an aside, the OED's first definition of brownie is "a benevolent spirit or goblin, of shaggy appearance, supposed to haunt houses, esp. farmhouses, in Scotland and sometimes to perform useful household work while the family were asleep." The first U.S. usage of the word to mean a small square of rich (usually) chocolate cake appeared in 1897 in the Sears & Roebuck Catalog: The "Fancy Crackers, Biscuits, Etc." section offered brownies, in 1-lb. papers, for $0.14 each or $1.50 per dozen.

Aw, thanks for the thanks! Your yums deserve the kudos. Next week I'll have to get some biscuits for the pups.
