My breakfast at the market last Saturday: Lightly toasted sesame bagel, lox, cream cheese, onions, tomatoes, ripe olives, and jalapenos and a cold can of hard-core coke. Whether or not I need anything to buy, I drive downtown almost every Saturday or Sunday during the season, just to savor the colors and watch the many vendors and the customers. Early in the season, there are an abundance of flowers. I bought two large pink geranium plants to hang on my front porch. Next week I'll load up with herbs and more hanging plants for the backyard patio. After that my version of gardening is finished so I can spend the rest of the summer reading in the sun!! (I am not meant to live in a cold climate. . . my mother warned me!!)
can you believe i've never had lox before?!
ReplyDeleteA Coke for breakfast? Oh, Kate. I knew we must be sisters. That's exactly what I have every morning too! When I lived in Phoenix I went to the farmers market every Saturday also. I can't wait to get back there. But first I have to wait for all the farmers here in East Texas to start harvesting their tomatoes and peas and squash and beans in another few weeks!
ReplyDeleteI think it's worth visiting the market each week even if it's just to have breakfast Kate :)
ReplyDeleteThat wouldn't be my breakfast, have to have a tea first thing in the morning...
ReplyDeleteAh, I see you 'sin' with Coke. hahaha Gardening, For me is a May-September proposition. No getting around it. I smile. I curse... my days in the garden.
ReplyDeletelaughing at your last comment. :)
ReplyDeleteThat bagel looks oh so good this morning. And, all I have is a banana.
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. And the bagel looks good. I would need a cup of coffee with it though. I gave up coke a couple years ago. It wasn't easy.
ReplyDeleteMmmm...delicious breakfast! The farmers market is such a fun gathering place.
ReplyDeleteWould you believe I've never had bagels before?
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious. I would need coffee. no more sodas for me....just good old water until 5pm...Then you guess.
ReplyDeleteYou had me until you got to the Coke. I"ll pass on the sugar and carbonation.
ReplyDeleteI bought most of my garden starts today: leeks, lettuce, kale, and delicata (winter) squash. I'll get the seeds (sugar snap peas and beets) going soon. Spring...even though it doesn't feel much like it today.
Nothing like a good bagel.
ReplyDeleteA Coke for breakfast? This breakfast is quite different from mine. Banana, tangerine, piece of toast, coffee. More coffee.
ReplyDeleteThe bagel looks good but I'd be drinking coffee with it. :)
