Ramps! (I am definitely taking some to Texas), a porterhouse steak, new potatoes, sweet potatoes, a bacon-gruyere pastry wheel, an almond croissant, a lemon curd turnover, 3 arugula plants, a curry plant, a dill plant, a lemon thyme plant, a serving pack of frozen lavender-lemon verbena lemonade and an unsweetened packet to make another 1.5L of it (will take to Texas next week, because the water tastes of mud and the temperature is already in the 80s), three pink lady apples (may take to Texas and make Dad an apple-shallot tart) and a boule of sourdough bread.

Compliments:Two different people stopped me to tell me that they not only liked my packbasket, but my entire look, plus one of vendors wanted to know about my monarobot Diplocaulus as a Mayan glyph pin, and the apple person said I "looked great, as always".
Today's look:
dusty sage green canvas jacket from Talbots (at least 6 years old, needs its buttons replaced because 2/3rds of them have come off)
made-to-measure flared jeans from eShakti
Metropolis belt from Jon Wye
Godzilla tab socks
Oboz hiking shoes
the Velvet Night button-down shirt from MorningWitch over a light green racer-back tank from Talbots
the Diplocaulus pin on the jacket lapel
a straw panama gambler hat
a trapper's packbasket that I bought at least 20 years ago from a fur-trapper's festival
a necklace of amethyst, sugalite, and south american jade beads I made for myself years ago
these Zenni cats-eye glasses I buy again every time my prescription changes

Current Mood: awake

Bacon-gruyere wheel, mushroom-leek roll, a pint of saskatoons, 1/2 pint of red raspberries, a quart of strawberries, a quart of sweet cherries, 6 plants (2 shisito peppers, a Sungold cherry tomato, a dill, a parsley, and a chamomile), 3 samosa handpies, 2 chicken french onion handpies, a lemon brownie, a sage sausage corn muffin, a slice of carrot cake, a lemon doodle stack, a chewy ginger stack, and a loaded oatmeal stack.

I don't have enough saskatoons to make my usual saskatoon ketchup, but maybe if I add the blueberries I will. I use this recipe from Saveur.

Two compliments on my linen trousers -- they have an arabesque pattern of browns on a seafoam aqua background with orange accents in a gradient until the background is orange as the hem. I wore them with an orange linen shirt I bought from Talbots on sale specifically to go with these trousers.

Also, next week the produce stand I usually buy from said they will have tart cherries, so I may make a pie for Juneteenth.

2 quart strawberries, sugar snap peas, shisto-orange mint lemonade, 2 pulled pork handpies, 2 taste of India handpies, a vegan brownie, a lemon brownie, a chewy ginger stack, a lemondoodle stack, and a roasted vegetable muffin.

One of the people at the grain booth complimented my shirt -- the Corn Snake button-down from Morning Witch, which is dark green and not the black I thought it was from the website -- and how it goes with the bright yellow cargo-pocket skirt I was wearing.

A woman also complimented by on my outfit when I was walking back home from the market.

Spring onions, 2 quarts of strawberries, a pint of snap peas, strawberry herbal lemonade, lavender lemonade packet, 3 Huevos Rancheros handpies, a buttermilk cake slice, a lemondoodle stack, a chewy ginger cookie stack,
a cranberry ginger butter cookies, and a box of cookie bloopers.

As I was leaving, some stopped me to compliment me on my outfit. I was wearing my Velvet Night button-down shirt from Morningwitch Clothing, which came with a matching bandana.

I'm planning on making strawberry jam this week with all the strawberries. I just need strawberries, lime juice, honey, and thyme and enough canning supplies, and I have all of those.

Plain yogurt, maple granola, ramps, beets, onions, dried casarecce pasta, 2 pulled pork handpies, 2 stuffed pepper handpies, 2 swiss cheese/cherry marmalade mini-tarts,a blueberry lemon muffin, a lemondoodle stack, a chewy ginger stack, a traditional chocolate chip stack, and berger cookies.

I got three compliments for my A Lotta Axolotl button-down shirt from Morning Witch Studio, which I was wearing under my green canvas jacket because it was warm today.

I'm seriously thinking about getting a Market share for the summer, possibly with the Grain share add-on. I think I'd have to find someone to split it with, though; there's a limited to how many vegetables I can eat in a week, and there are a good number that I won't eat at all, like spaghetti squash.

A dozen eggs, shishito peppers, donut peaches, plums, 2 cuban-style pulled pork handpies, 2 caramelized onion & goat cheese hand pies, a lemon doodle stack, a chewy ginger stack, and a box of cookie bloopers.

Today's compliment: I like your whole outfit!

Plain yogurt, cheese curds, almond croissant, leek-mushroom pastry, 2 shepherd's pie handpies, 2 mushroom swiss handpies, chocolate loves peanut butter stack, and cranberry ginger butter cookies.

Today is day 1 of 2 on low-fiber foods before a day of clear liquids and then a colonoscopy, because I've finally reached the age those things are recommended. I already want to bite someone.

I didn't try to do any fruit and vegetable shopping today, because I wanted to go to the knitting group in the first time in months. Which I did, and I even got to work on the lilac hat.

Today's compliment: I really like your jeans

I am going to keep buying that make of jeans until they stop selling them, because they look great!
