We Love Farmer's Markets


There was no celestial pork, there were no mysterious burrito makers, but there were waffles. And Polish coins. And dragons.


We returned (like every Saturday we've been in town this summer) to the Farmer's market with a "wad" of cash, determined to buy more of those heavenly pork portions, freeze them and take them with us to Denver,  but they were nowhere to be found!! Perhaps they already sold all of their pork for the summer. So sad. Ah well, when Stephen is a billionaire oil executive, we'll just have it shipped to us. Also missing were the makers of burritos, who have no store, or truck, or restaurant, or premises of any kind, yet make the best burritos Stephen has had in years. So he settled for a hot dog loaded with chili and cheese.
And of course, ended up wearing it. 
This was the menu. Doesn't it look awful?!
I, of course, went for a higher fare, and tried the waffle truck that has rather high prices, but very, very yummy smells.

I couldn't decide between blackberries and peaches, so I got both! Soooo decadent...
See that mysterious brown substance? Some of my European friends may recognize it, it's Biscoff spread!! For some reason, I always thought Biscoff was peanut butter flavored. Ohhhh, no, it is NOT. It tastes like crushed cookies. Stephen is on orders never to let me buy this stuff, for I will lock myself in my room and eat it with a spoon. Tis love.
I think these waffles had some kind of sugar coating, because the outside was crackly and almond-flavored. They were amazingly delicious. I want another one, but they're so expensive!! I shared mine with the boys, it was HUGE.

On the way out, a stall with coin necklaces caught my eye. I didn't like any of the ones hanging, but I was intrigued! Turned out she had a box full of coins, and a tray full of baubles, and she let me design my own!! I was leaning towards something British (of course) but then I found a tiny coin from Poland!! I am half Polish. Perfect!! I found a bird charm and a pretty stone to go with it. I pick it up Thursday, and I'll show you how it turned out! Such a fun Farmer's Market day. We got a limeade, (of course) then the dragons went swinging.

  2. If you are unfamiliar with the Liebster Blog Award, it is a wonderful way for bloggers to acknowledge each other's hard word. It helps to encourage a positive attitude toward one another as well as complement each other. I recently received this award for my site Life On Peanut Layne. I have been following your blog and loved it so I am handing the torch to you. To continue the pay it forward model you read my post here and link back to it once you have written your own.
