The farmer's market today was ridiculously lovely. We spent too much on meat, and fresh vegetables (heirloom tomatoes! a mixed half-pound of three varieties of shallots! baby bok choy! small potatoes -- red, purple, fingerling!), and lovely lemony queso fresco. Refrained from buying salmon even after the demonstration of hazelnut-crusted seared salmon, and from buying basil in great bunches, and from buying beets (which I love raw and sliced thin on spring greens with orange slices, or roasted with celery root and a little salt, or glazed), or from buying honey and apple butter and apricot jam, or fresh strudel, or sourdough rye loaves, or... I could go on. Lovely.

Today the boy and I are going to go to Fremont Oktoberfest to taste local breweries' beer varieties and poke around the stalls, and then we will return home for a solstice meal and more unpacking.

Tomorrow the hot tub gets filled.

I am so utterly, completely spoiled. Hello, Seattle. ♥

I am so happy that you are liking Seattle. I love Seattle, but I'm not sure how I'd respond to the rain.

I have another LJ friend (who I've met in person) who has just moved to Seattle for grad studies in philosophy at UW. She is very sweet and a little lonely. She's from Scotland and is searching for fellow geeks. You need to meet each other.

Her name is frostmorn.

Which farmer's market did you go to? I was going for awhile to the Phinney one, but now that it's close to being closed for the winter, I'm back to Ballard.

Yay fantastic days!! :)

Isn't it a little early/late for a soltice meal? Party like it is time shifted 3 months + n years? ;)

*hugs*

Hottub full, eh?
*sneaks over to Seattle*
