Barramundi

Farmers  Market

Baking

In the town where I live, we have a farmers' market.  It takes place every fourth Saturday of the month.  I do go there some time.  Today I almost forgot that it is on, it was already after mid-morning.  I went with my husband to check it out.  Yes, we were lucky enough that the stalls were still going,  but they were preparing to pack up, after all, it's almost twelve o'clock.

I was lucky enough to get some fresh produce such as a bunch of Dutch carrots, celery, honey and the fresh fish 'Barramundi'.  I am looking forward to cooking it for our Sunday Best.   I got Barramundis from the Farmers' Market before, it's always fresh and sweet. 

The first time I ate the fish was in 1999 when I attended a cooking class in Melbourne.  The teacher was a Swiss Chef from the Hilton, showing us how to cook baby Barramundi.  I did not think much about it, I know Barramundi is Australian fish, that interests me.

Today is Sunday, we had commitments and very busy.  I didn't cook the fish.  Instead, I did some baking.  Monday dinner is going to be a treat,  I shall prepare the fish.

I baked a Jumbo scone, why not.  If there are Jumbo cupcakes, why not a Jumbo scone at least.   So I called it:  Susy's Jumbo Scone.
