This past Saturday was the opening weekend for the West End Farmers’ Market, which is conveniently located in front of my house (pls don’t stalk me, I am all burnt out from creeps already this week). It’s so nice to roll out of bed on Saturday mornings, scope out the vendors while I walk the dogs and plan all my purchases in advance.
Unfortunately my favourite homous vendor wasn’t there and since I live in Canada there isn’t a ton of stuff in season yet- it seemed to be mostly lettuces and tomato plants, but I did get some good things.
Like MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF LITTLE TOMATOES. This was over a pound and I think Sym has eaten most of them already. I’d be annoyed but really, what am I gonna say? “Oh no, child, please don’t eat all the healthy nutritious vitamin-packed organic produce?” lol as if.
I also bought some very expensive but very sweet and tiny strawberries, organic free-run eggs, a whole strawberry-apple pie that I can’t even photograph because Taylor ate it all already(!!!), local honey sticks for Sym, and some cheese marbled with blackberry wine from my favourite SPCA-certified cheesery (I really want Kate from Full Frontal Fromage to come up from SF to see me so we can go there and visit their happy cows!).
Eating little cherry tomatoes is one of the best snacks ever. Way to go, Sym!
I LOVE BB TOMATOES.
You should be bffs with Sym.
Oh man that all looks so damn good.
ooo i carry local honeysticks in my purse at all times, they are the best
Sym is obsessed with, but she doesn’t like honey any other way. KIDS R WEIRD.
Ohhh I love the Little Qualicum Cheeseworks!
Now I want some of their cheese. Right NOW!!
I had one person favorite a bunch of flickr photos of my friends in Thailand wearing rain jackets and when I looked at his account it was all people IN RAIN JACKETS wtf
lololol what the hell
