i’m feeling a bit random today… not really sure where the heck this is going, so just bear with me. school is in full swing, and life is crazy nuts from 3pm until bedtime. it’s still hot as hades outside and when i turn on my cold water (i generously call it cold because that’s what the “c” on the faucett handle says… i swear i’m gonna tape over that letter “c” for the summer) 100 degree water pours from my faucett… which would be nice if i wanted to take a warm bath… lol.
the dale household is in a temporary bit of upheaval, as we are about to switch houses with our friend, aaron. we are scraping, painting, patching, and praying a lot that A. the work will actually be done one day before we die and B. that the 2-way move will go smoothly. all in all, an exciting time, replete with possibilities and expectations. oh, and twice as much space… can’t leave that out! so, we are happy and ready for the long row we have to hoe to get there.
our neighborhood has a new farmer’s market, and saturday i thought visiting the new farmer’s market would be a great method of task avoidance, i mean an excellent reason to interrupt painting in order to support our wonderful neighborhood. it’s called the sankofu farmer’s market, and it’s located in the parking lot of holy angels on saturdays from 10-2. it was quite a diverse experience for me… i got to drink pecan milk (move over soy), i got to see my husband holding an infant pig as if it were his firstborn, and i saw purple okra. they also had an awesome barbeque truck… omg the smell was amazing! of course, the baby pig wasn’t so happy to be next to it… when they get a lemonade stand that sells gourmet lemonade it will truly be the most perfect place on earth. (ok… my humble opinion.)
as much as i enjoyed the experience, i only walked away with okra and some really awesome pepper jelly… note: grown and made in the lower 9th…
i was a bit ADD about the farmer’s market because of my plan to FINALLY try out the weekend-only bakery across the street- shake sugaree. it’s a little storefront with big smells and awesome baked goodness. i feel like i need to apologize for 2 food posts in a row… but it’s what has been in my life lately, so i guess we’ll just roll with it. here are some samples of the goods:
ok… we’re gonna come back to this blueberry lemon muffin, as it was my fave and left me wishing that shake sugaree was open for breakfast every day… but at this point, my help got involved with the pictures:
now, back to the muffin AND my able assistant… i was taking this picture:
looking through my happy little viewfinder, and this is what i saw next:
little sneak!!!! so i call her name, giggling all the while…
so sorry to disturb you and your time alone with MY muffin… lol…
how could i begrudge this?? don’t hate her because she’s beautiful… and anyway- you know you wanted to see the inside of the muffin. it’s nice to have willing help.
