I love when my day off falls on a Sunday, because that is the day of the Hillcrest Farmers' Market. Adam is out of town this weekend--up in the San Juans on a sailing trip (and I won't pretend I'm not a little jealous). Today there was so much beautiful produce, I went a little nuts. Of course, there were my weekly strawberries:
It was a good day. Tomorrow, back to work. But it's only a short 8 days (and two call nights) until my next day off.
Such beauties! So sweet, so delicious! And grown only 45 minutes from here. We have a ridiculously long strawberry season here, and I always have some cut up in the fridge. I use them for my "strawberry-sans-cake"--strawberries and whipped cream, without the shortcake. I eat that a lot. Probably more than is healthy.
The stone fruits are all in season right now. I wandered from booth to booth eating all of their samples: peaches, plums, white peaches. They were all so sweet and delicious, I couldn't decide what to get. But finally, inspired by smitten kitchen, I also bought some apricots:
Which after a quick 20 minutes, became this:
I also got my favorite fruit--Rainier cherries! Which I get to eat all myself, because Adam doesn't like cherries (and he's out of town):
And for my lunch today, I started with this:
Which, with a few tortillas and some cheese, became this:
It was a good day. Tomorrow, back to work. But it's only a short 8 days (and two call nights) until my next day off.

So we'll see you at knitting?
Don't be jealous of Adam ... the weather here leaves much to be desired.
Love,
Dad
