Another Day, Another Market

So, Wednesday is Farmer's Market Day in Davis as well as Saturday. And here's what we got this time:


The Kettle Corn in the back is Mike's, he got a little bag at the end of our shopping trip for being a good boy. All said and done, we spent 12 dollars. We'll be cooking the Okra tonight, so wish us luck.

Another interesting landmark on the way to the Farmer's Market was this:


Yes. Its the Bicycle Hall of Fame. What can I say? They like their bikes.

Express yourself

So I thought Vermont had some pretty liberal people, but Davis makes Vermont look like Rush Limbaugh. If I were in the left wing bumper sticker business, I'd make a killing out here. I don't think its possible for the people in this town to have a single private thought without making a bumper sticker about it. At the very least, every car must three bumper stickers: One expressing who they voted for in 2008, one proclaiming the importance of farms/local produce/organic produce, and last but not least, one sticker dedicated to the pet of their choice.

Slow Going...

If there's one thing I've learned about California in the four days I've been here, its that good things come to those who wait. And you'll do a lot of waiting here. I've always been a super fast walker, typer, talker, but in California, its even more exaggerated. Now I know how Superman felt when he'd slow down time so he could get a lot of stuff done.

Luckily, I've learned more than just one thing in the four days I've been here. Like the Chinese restaurant in the shopping plaza next to our apartment is amazing. And sometimes people at IKEA don't know what they're talking about, even when they say it in a really friendly voice. And, most recently, the farmers market in Davis on Saturday mornings is awesome.
Here's a picture I took of everything we got:



I can't wait to see what Mike makes me for dinner...
