North Park Farmers Market

Right now, the NPFM is open from 1330 to 2000 every Thursday. I'd been to it waaaaay back when, before I deployed, and hadn't been back since. At the time it was an awful disappointment, because it was mostly way overpriced craft foods and candles and flowers, not anything you could have for dinner.

I had to go to the 31st and University intersection anyway, so I gave it a shot. I walked out with three kinds of hummus (sun dried tomato, cilantro/jalapeno, curry/turmeric) and an odd sauce made of almonds and chipotle. I intend to put that on fish. I also met a family who do organic meats and they GAVE me a 2 lb slab of pork ribs to see if it triggers allergies in Steve. Wild boar hasn't so far, and this is organically-fed, hormone-free pig. We shall see.

(Yes, Steve is allergic to pork, the second or third person I've known who is.)

They also make sausage in collagen cases once a month, so I gave Ashley (the totally punk daughter) my business card and I'll buy some when they have it.

I got two cucumbers. I sliced one up and Steve and I ate the slices instead of chips with the hummus.

We watched the movie "In Time" which was quite enjoyable, and now I'm off to read for a bit. Four day weekend starts tomorrow!
