Yeah, I feel like it's time for whiskey here.
I am making crappy dinner for myself again because I went in to meet up with the SO. I was planning on eating lunch out, and I knew it wouldn't be eating with him because he had a breakfast date, so he'd have just eaten. But I figured he could sit with me while I ate. But then I didn't communicate that I was coming in, so he came home to pick something up while I was sitting at the coffeeshop waiting for him.
And then I hung around but he was wrong about his afternoon teaching schedule, so I didn't actually end up with much time with him, and I figured I'd eat something after I left, but then he asked me to set hockey to record, so I had to get home by four.
None of which is his fault, but the upshot is, I haven't eaten since two eggs this morning, and I'm starving and bad pasta is the fastest thing I can cook. So, whatevs.
Anyway, it's fine, I got a lot of work done sitting there, it just wasn't the way I'd have planned my day given the choice.
Hm, I think eating half a pound of cherries may have slaked my desire for wine for the nonce. Fresh cherries on a hot day = nom.
Mmm, cherries. Hm, that's what I should have done. Stopped by the grocery for fruit and cheese on my way home. Oh well.
Did I remember to mention that I finally made it to the Farmer's Market yesterday? I did. It was the first day of the season (why it isn't open for the winter I'm not sure I understand, there's certainly local produce available, but maybe people aren't willing to go shopping in the park when it's colder and wetter) and I had finished my CSA haul, so that worked out very well for me. I would invite y'all to come eat some of it up (and potato salad!) but my house is so not fit for guests...and the distance thing, of course.
Oh, our farmer's market opens on Sunday. Though we won't have any local produce for at least another month - don't want to think what all this late snow has done to the harvests.
Timelies all!
My shoulder is sore because I was toting around a bag full of books. Mostly freebies, but I also bought 4.
You know, I like fresh produce and potato salad.
I think someone sprinkled sleepy dust on my house. All of the critters are asleep, and I keep nodding off.
Last day of my staycation---boo.
I hope to make it to our farmers market tomorrow. There's a bakery that sells what they call brewery's bread there, made with the grains after they'd been used to make beer. I've tried it before, and it's amazing. There's another vender there who sells goat cheese, half a dozen with various greens, and a few with the season's first strawberries and tomatoes. Theres no bad there. Also, one of the vendors sells Jerusalem artichokes, which look interesting.

Mine had the same sleepy dust all over this morning! Which would have been better on a day where I didn't need to be up and out.
I'll bring you a quart of potato salad tomorrow, Lee! And maybe some strawberries. I didn't plan to buy them, but they smelled so good when I walked by, I had to.
