This morning, we got a late start, but still headed over to the farmer's market. On our way to it, we swung by Collectivo where I got a large iced coffee. Only about 20 ounces but oh so delicious.
Our first stop was Stella's to pick up some Spicy Hot Cheese Bread. We each had about two good tears of bread when the kid asked that we pick up some cheese curds. NO PROBLEMO! He picked out garlic dill curds.
I noticed that there were two vendors selling wool. Knitting is becoming very vogue. I'm starting to feel like I'm not special. Of course I investigated the wool, even though I'm on the worst kind of diet. A yarn diet. One was selling only finished naturally dyed wool and one was selling finished wool and some roving. The roving was pretty itchy and you know I'm too delicate to spin or knit with itchy wool.
As we went around we also picked up a ton of amazing looking veggies. We got tomatoes, sweet corn, jalapenos, cucumbers, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans and a kohlrabi. So this week's food plan is delicious, delicious veggies.
There were tons of street performers playing up and down state street, including someone playing the pan flute! Ahh Madison, I love you.
After we left the market, we walked through the capitol building. It was super busy in there. Triggered my anxiety pretty solidly, so I was glad to head out of there. Then we headed down State Street. We stopped to watch someone juggling while spinning a hula hoop. I mean, the coordination is impressive, but the performer that used to occupy that spot was a delightful street magician. I miss that guy. On the way back to the car, decided to walk through the Overture Center. There we checked the upcoming shows, walked through the museum store (which I love) and then walked through the gallery. Today's installation was a little highbrow for me, if I'm being honest.
It was getting to be lunchtime, so we were heading to Sol's on the square, which is on the opposite direction from our car, but carrying all the veggies around was kind of a burden so we hopped in the car and put our lovely veggies in the trunk and moved the car to a more favorable parking space for lunch. At Sol's I had the bibimbap along with the complimentary soup and sides they bring when you order. I was delighted to learn that all but the fish cakes were vegetarian. I love their kimchi and cucumbers. But bibimbap is pretty much my favorite food. Look how pretty it is.
I was so full from aforementioned cheese curds and cheese bread that I really only ate like 4 bites of my lunch. I took the rest home and had about half of it for dinner. The rest will make a fantastic lunch tomorrow!
Heading back to the car after lunch, Deven had to pee pretty urgently, so we dropped into Ancora coffee roasters to use their facilities. I can never just use a restroom somewhere, so I picked up a pomegranate green iced tea but they accidentally poured me an iced coffee. I almost said "HEY GUY, EVEN BETTER!" but it was after noon and if you read much of this blog you will see that I have to be preeeetty careful about my coffee consumption because of insomnia. So he gave me the iced coffee for the husband and I happily sipped away at my green tea. I get it that green tea has plenty of caffeine on it's own, but humor me here.
So, today was a good day. I mean, I could have used more coffee. I can always use more coffee. But it was alright, really.
How was your Saturday?
