"All I want to do is sit on a veranda while / a hard rain falls around me."
Today's subject line is from Sandra Beasley's Vocation.
Sampled at this year's Tomato Art Fest:
* Picker's vodka soda (grapefruit and tangerine)
* A chunk of orange-fleshed watermelon
* Walker's Bloody Mary mix
* Frozen hazelnut coffee beads
* Chocolate balsamic vinegar (at Galena Garlic on Fatherland, which I had driven past many times...)
Freebies accepted:
* A nylon fan-frisbee
* A trio of temp tattoos
* Some bottles of Sweet Baby Ray's sauces
Purchased:
* Three pints of cherry tomatoes
Some of the sights and wares seen:
* A toddler being pulled out of the doggie ice bath she had charged into.
* Paddle fans with a lawyer's face
* "Believe Women" merch with 50% of profits going to the ACLU
* A RBG paint-by-numbers kit. (I was amused by the concept, but found the actual design was unappealing.)
* Lots of doggies. Bulky Crossfit guy with tiny toy dog might have been my favorite sighting.
Today's cooking plans:
* cherry tomato + bean salad
* roast chicken
* chocolate-dipped banana slices
Most rewarding plant in my currently pitiful yard:
