susandennisToday's adventure was the University District of Seattle. I decided I wanted some of that wonderful ham from Seabreeze Farms and their twitter said they would be at the University District Farmer's Market this morning so that's where I went. I'd never been there before and was not even sure where it was but the #73 bus looked like it got close so I headed over to the bus tunnel and hopped on one.
Turns out the thing stops RIGHT at the Farmer's Market! And it is a good sized one at that. I wandered around for a while until I found Seabreeze and turns out they did not have the good ham. They had some cooked ham so I got a couple of slices of that and then wandered down the street in search of breakfast.
I found a great place - perfect for me with a table by the window. University Avenue has some fine, fine people watching. Really old people - mostly it looked like hippies who forgot to move after the 60's were over - toddling to the market mixed in with pretty hung over looking college kids. Pretty funny, actually.
While at breakfast I decided that I really did want some of those tomatoes I saw. I'm sure they won't be as good as I want them to be (we just don't have the right kind of sun and soil) and they were expensive - 3 medium sized tomatoes cost me $7.50. But, I got 'em and there will be tomato salad for dinner and tomato sandwiches in future.
Then I walked down the 'Ave' as they call it here and soaked in the university 'town center'. It's pretty bleak and cruddy looking - a few chain places mixed in with some used clothing stores and coffee places and lots of empty store fronts. But, I loved it cause it was downhill!
At the bottom of the hill was the bus stop and at the bus stop was my bus. Home again, home again, jiggety jig!

Chef Tom finally sent me his menu suggestions for his cooking session set for Wednesday. It's not a very good line up. He says he's having trouble finding stuff I like. I think what he means is that I am way too picky for his list of recipes. Sigh. I don't want to have to find another Chef. I like Chef Tom. And one of the reasons I like him is that I can tell him no and it's fine.
No, I do not want Mexican macaroni and cheese. I had two pasta and cheese dishes last time and I'm burned out. No, I do not want bar b q meatball muffins. It just not sound good and negative on the green peppers in the sweet and sour pork. I do wish he'd give me more time with the menu. I asked him for more time and he said he would send it last Wednesday which he did not. I finally sent him an email this morning asking if we maybe needed to move the cooking date out. That's when he said he was having a hard time finding recipes.
I guess we'll see...

Now it's time for some TiVo clean up and bunny knitting.
