Farmer's Market

Today, I picked AK up from daycare and we headed straight out to collect Christie and Mack, and headed to the Farmer's Market at Camana Bay.

I don't know if some vendors were there previously and had already left, or if some vendors were deterred by the slightly rainy skies but there were only a handful of booths today. However, we did buy the following:

*approximately 2lbs of Cayman pumpkin - $2
*a starfruit and a mango - $3
*4 black russian caroway buns - $6!!! (they better be good!!!)
*Chef John's bbq chicken with beans and rice for supper - $12

Not too bad of a haul for $23. I haven't decided yet what to do with the pumpkin, may just steam and eat like squash. I've cut up some of the starfruit and mango for both AK and I to take for snacks tomorrow. I think I may melt some cheese on one of the buns later to test it out, and make tuna salad bunwiches later in the week. The buns are so soft and I'm sure the price includes all the samples we had of all the other kinds of bread :) Chef John's chicken dinner was enough for supper tonight and I've packed the leftovers as lunch for both of us tomorrow.

It was a nice way to spend the evening. Because of the small number of vendors, the market was set up in a small space near the road. When I've gone before, they've closed the road off to accommodate all the booths. It was a bit harder to shop today as I had to keep an eye on AK near traffic and shop at the same time. Not a great setup for me.

AK's bedtime is stretching out to be nearer to 8pm these days. It is nice to have that extra bit of time to spend together in the evenings but I seem to run out of energy before AK does!!! I need to poke around tonight to see if I can find the water wings as I think we'll swim tomorrow after supper if it is nice out.

ps - ha ha. I had to come back and edit this post for my math above!!!

pps - I had to come back AGAIN to tell you how amazing these buns are. They are so soft and delicious, and not sour at all like some dark breads can be. I melted a wee bit of sharp cheddar on one half, and a wee bit of jalapeno monterey jack on the other, and am adding some red pepper jelly to a bite here and there. YUMMO!
