oyceterMy pea guy has not been at the market for three whole weeks!
People! This means I have not had peas for three whole weeks!
It is a tragedy!
Today I found another stand that had English peas, but I am still sad because it is not my pea guy.
On the other hand, I am still rolling in heirlooms, and this week, the little pale yellow almost fuzzy peach tomatoes were out! And there is still amazingly sweet white corn, strawberries that almost smell as good as they taste, raspberries, and my French pastry place. Joy!
There has also been much fooding with the mom. Yesterday was my day of pampering, given that finals are over (WHOO!): we ended up eating dim sum, watching Stardust (so-so, but will post on that later), getting pedicures, and then having dinner at Left Bank, in which I had a very good corn chowder (still cannot get over how sweet corn is right now), a nicoise salad and an amazingly decadent dessert of layered mascarpone, berries, and crisp, fragrant almond cookies.
I haven't been posting as much as I have largely been stuffing my brain with manga and So You Think You Can Dance in an effort to decompress from IBARW, finals, and work being done on the condo. Oh! And watching VVC vids! Which I may post on later, though I have not been following any post-VVC discussions, so my input will probably be unnecessary and repetitive.
