Farmer's Market

Last Saturday was the start of most Farmer's Markets in MA and unfortunately it rained. 
Derek went down to get us a few things, but we didn't go down as a family the way we will most Saturday mornings.


Today I was so happy that the weather was gorgeous. 
I got a pedicure and then met Derek and the kids at the market.


We packed a picnic and enjoyed some live jazz music.


Derek's 2-1/2 week long vacation starts next Friday and we couldn't be happier!


Today's fresh produce purchases included a quart of the most delicious strawberries I've ever tasted, broccoli rabe, spinach, french radishes, and harukai turnips. We'll eat the radishes and turnips raw in the picnic we're having tomorrow at Hale Reservation. The broccoli rabe will be used in a spinach fettucine dish with broccoli rabe and hot turkey sausage. Tonight I made a risotto-style orzo with grilled summer squash, sauteed turnip greens, and roasted chickpeas.


I LOVE COOKING THIS TIME OF YEAR!!!

Today Derek gave Silas his traditional mid-summer haircut. Today the weather was perfect and we enjoyed bike rides (them) / a walk (me) in the park after lunch. Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin  Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...

Silas, 7/26/17

The context for this post is that S&Z started two weeks of daily swimming lessons in the outdoor town pool on Monday. The beginning of this week also happened to start with two of the coldest days of the summer!
