What do you get when you mix sunshine, a Saturday, and Portobello Market? A mass of people! Betsy and I braved the crowds yesterday to visit Portobello Market in Notting Hill. We have been so lucky to have beautiful weather to explore different areas of the city. And Portobello Market did not disappoint. Anything you're looking for can be found: gas masks, magnifying glasses, old boxing gloves, fruits, vegetables, breads, sweets, the list goes on. And there was certainly no shortage of of vintage clothing, silver, or antiques. ---------
A particular stall grabbed our attention with freshly baked breads that looked amazing! We were debating between raisin challah and ciabatta when a woman working at the stall asked if we needed help. Of course we did! I asked what her favorite was and she rubbed her hands together and said well, this bread goes amazing with cheese, this one is quite good on its own with just a little butter and this is is wonderfully spoungy. Betsy and I walked away with an onion loaf and a rye & wheat loaf to share. Some of the best bread I've had!
