Farmers' Markets

Well, I officially bought my first items from the farmer's market today!  B and I went to two different ones; the first would have been more accurately named an "arts and crafts with a little bit of food thrown in" market, but the second had much more.  I didn't get a whole lot as I still haven't branched out too much on the kinds of vegetables I eat, but I did get some fresh corn on the cob, okra, goat milk and goat cheese.  The goat products were a bit more expensive than I was planning on paying, but the lady offered me samples of everything, and I really just felt like supporting their business.  The cheese I got was garlic and herb feta...mmmmm!  Delicious!

It's been such a great help for me!

Anyway, so that was the farmer's market experience.  B was a little disappointed because somehow or another he thought there would be a variety of Asian foods there, and wanted to try cooking some dish with squid...yuck.  I'm glad there was no such booths there.  After that B and I had a lazy day watching a movie marathon of Pirates of the Caribbean.  I forgot how much I love those movies!  Especially the original.  We had a pretty good time; I just wish neither of us had to work tomorrow so we could spend the whole weekend together. 

In other news, K and I went to the mountains of New Mexico for a week earlier this month; it was amazing!  So cool and comfortable; the cabin we stayed in doesn't even need air conditioning!  We spent a good amount of time hiking and enjoying the scenery.  I think it just further convinces me that I want to move out of Texas after graduation.  Maybe it's because I've grown up in Texas, but other states just seem to have so much more beautiful scenery.  Plus I keep checking the weather in New York City, and even though it's not much cooler than it is in Texas right now, the humidity is so low that it actually feels like what the temperature actually is, rather than having to add about 10 degrees to how it feels because of the humidity.  Ugh.  I'm sick of humidity and mosquitoes.  I am so ready to graduate and move out of here. 

Anyway, that's pretty much it for tonight.  I always get super tired after B leaves, and that wave of tiredness has just hit me.  Definitely my cue to go to bed.  So until next time...
