farmer's market love

oh how i love the farmer's market!

there's a smallish one right by me on saturdays.  and i love it.  well, honestly i usually only go to one stand because i can tell it is actually locally grown, in-season produce.  i have to wonder at some other places where they have fruits and veggies that aren't in season.  how did that happen?  and my favorite place is very reasonably priced too!  today: baskets of peaches and blueberries, tomato, and corn for $8.  yes please.

i also only have time to go to one stand because i'm in a hurry to get to work.  boo.

the last couple weeks i had to take streets down to north ave. (instead of just hopping on the path) because the path's been wet and gross today and last saturday.  i don't want to get my work clothes all dirty on the way to work.  

this means i pass by the big farmer's market at clark.  every time i had to fight with myself a little because i wanted to stop so badly.

have a great saturday!  and i hope you visit your farmers market soon!

    Mom and I went to the new one at the KC hall this a.m. and bought peaches, blackberries and potatoes for $7.00. I think some items, like maybe the peaches, the farmers buy and then resell.

    hi dado,
    the peaches i got are definitely not ready to eat, but i think in a couple days they will be.
    although i don't have a brown paper bag to make them ripe faster. Thanks for the tip, Mom!

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike

I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Spring!

Yes, I know it is not spring yet.   Today's the meteorological beginning of spring or something, isn't it? I definitely suffered some winter blues last month (yeah, it's March!). Check out these tulip fields for your Friday! Normann Szkop  took awesome photos while flying over Dutch  tulip fields . ( via ) p.s. Two days later I'm still feeling amazing after my juice cleanse .  Yes, it's possible that's not what it's from, but considering nothing else has really changed (except starting a new month, which I am so excited about), it's getting the credit. HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY MARCH!
