Veggie tales

A carved pumpkin sits front and center as its creator, Sodexo chef-artist Christopher Cagandahan, left, and cook Rodney Parker work side-by-side during a special edition of the bimonthly Sodexo Farmers" Market at Freret Street and McAlister Place on the Tulane University uptown campus. Besides the usual seasonal produce, the market featured free satsumas and a variety of pumpkins available for purchase.

Free orange-cranberry spritzers were on hand, compliments of The Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine, a program of the Tulane University School of Medicine.
