AHhhhhh

It has been a restful Sunday. I did dishes and we got laundry done. We cooked, some. Carl made a wonderful pasta primavera sauce with some veggies we got at the farmer's market. We'll be having Chicken soup tomorrow, and I boiled the chicken today. I'll probably bone it too. If I can talk myself into it. We have some black-eyed peas to go with that, again, from the farmer's market.

I know, I'm a day late and a dollar short on this one, but getting up and out early on Saturday morning is really not my thing in general. Still, we decided this year to support the local growers, and get some really fresh produce. It has been worth it, too. I'm also pleasantly surprised at the quality of the crafts being displayed there, too. One booth has some lovely photographs, and another beautiful tiles with a very southwestern theme, without howling coyotes (very overdone). There are soap makers, and a coffee roaster, and home-made bread, yum. I'll probably do some Christmas shopping there. I must say, if you have a local farmer's market, its worth your while to go visit it. If they don't have what you want or like then, give it a few months and try again. I finally found what I was looking for when I was looking for it!

We do have a local farmer's market, but they only operate on Saturdays, and I have to work.

But we found a lovely little corner market with locally grown produce, and we'll be supporting them as often as we can.

We even asked them to look into getting Hatch green chili.

Don't you just love long, lazy Sundays?
