My Good Fortune

Small Factory and I visit the Grand Army Plaza farmer's market on a very regular basis.

Nearly three weeks ago, I bought raffle tickets from one stand--Bradley Farms--and two weeks ago I learned that I had won the raffle.

What did I win?
Why, my weight in tomatoes! This is merely the first installment.

Sauce has been made, eaten and frozen. Tomatoes have been roasted. Tomatoes have been broiled with scallions and blue cheese. A few tomato omelettes and tomato/cheese sandwiches have been consumed. A tomato/pepper/zucchini/cheese tart was baked. A few have been given away and surely more will become juicy gifts. There are a few left.

Tomatoes and peaches are two things that I find really only taste good when they are in season. Otherwise they tend to disappoint.

We are going back on Saturday for more.
Yum.

He'd Better Eat, Drink, and be Merry...

...because soon this guy will be put to work.
There's cooking, washing, ironing, sweeping, and gardening to do, and he hasn't even done the laundry or gone to the market.
Lazy bum.

Ladybug, ladybug fly away home

Her friends were sold for a dollar at our community garden bakesale, but she stayed at home.
I was a ladybug for Halloween once upon a time. I wore a round sandwich board type thing and deelie-boppers (sp?). I loved it.

Luck Was a Lady!

Well, I finally got around to starting AND finishing an apron for Tie One On. The theme was "My Favorite Musical". It was close call, but Sweeney Todd seemed a little too...something, so I went with Guys and Dolls. I am tickled with how it came out--and the Angry Chicken used it as the opening picture. Now will I ever bring myself to wipe my food-covered hands on it? It's a little too precious right now...

The owner of the other four lucky items isn't quite as photogenic (he gets a lot of red-eye). But I'll be working on that.

In the beginning...

I thought that it would be wise to test this first.
