Even though I hate facebook, I made pages for this blog and my shop, if you like you can “like” them and keep yourself up to date with any important breaking news and even possible future giveaways or promotions!
Things to Eat This Week
I went to the farmer’s market on Saturday for the first time in a couple of weeks, and stocked up on some of my favourite things.
l-r: smoky tomato chipotle humus; raspberries: orange and yellow tomatoes; honey sticks for Sym; sweet chili lime humus; mint; onion; black bean humus; garlic; purple bell peppers; blackberries
Taylor and I already ate the tomato and bean humuses, oops. A lot of this stuff I’m planning to use to make some fresh salsa, although I kind of wish I could have gotten green tomatoes instead of orange and yellow; I made purple and green salsa one time and it was awesome.
Today I got my weekly order from SPUD, I am really loving this service!
clockwise from top left: this crazy dark green rinded watermelon; spinach; extreme purple smoothie; raspberry lemonade (this was supposed to be REGULAR lemonade but I’m not super mad); skim milk (three liters is the exact perfect amount); chocolate chip waffles; a sour cherry pie; more tomatoes; peaches, apples; purple potatoes!; cherries
All of these were grown/produced locally- even the watermelon! I know, crazy! Okay, the service considers anything in a day’s driving distance as “local” so it’s from Washington state, but that still closer than California or Mexico! The average travel distance for my whole order was 8km; I’m gonna win that ~local hero~ prize yet!
Green Glitter Gradient for my Girl
Last week Sym and I collaborated on the design for this gradient glitter banner for her; she took it to her dad’s house to hang by her bed. It isn’t perfect, but I really like how it turned out. HOWEVER I will NOT be making these for sale, it was WAY too much work and no one would ever pay enough to make it worthwhile.
