Item #86: This makes trip number six of 10, to the farmer's market to buy produce. And other things. This morning, we spent $60 ($35 of which was H's birthday money from a month ago!). $32 went to a ten pound box of blueberries *drool* (that was H's big splurge). $3 for a package of pita. $4 for a small Greek oregano plant. $3.50 for caramel corn. $2 for a red bell pepper. $2 for miniature white potatoes. $2.50 for green beans. $3 for snap peas. $5 for berry scones. $2 for a giant tomato. 50 cents for green onions. 25 cents to feed our parking meter. 25 cents to feed a stranger's parking meter as a random act of kindness. Money well spent all around.
Item #87: We went to a friend's wedding last night ... so it was a perfect excuse to break out H's super nice dress shoes! We need to find 2 more reasons for him to wear them! They're really quite lovely & classic ... and he's got to wear a suit with them, and it's rare that he wears a suit! He cleans up awfully nice, though.

Item #44: It's done! We grew our own basil & made pesto! We used this recipe from Karen, over at Crazier In Real Life!
Here's the proof, in photos:
Inspired by Chef Anne Burrell, we finished it off with a hit of grated Parmesan cheese, and some salt. Perfection! AND we have more basil leaves, so we can do it all over again in another couple of weeks, if we want. Those 3 plants really have grown a lot since we bought them.

We had a delightful day. Part of it was trying a new restaurant (Item #99). We went to Honey Cafe. It was a bit of a drive, but totally cool & very worth it. H loved their lemon bars & cappuccino:
and I enjoyed playing the role of Mad Scientist in making my Science Fair Sundae!!!:
The food was delicious & inspired, and lots of it was thoughtfully grown, harvested, etc. Bonus!

Item #70: Isn't it beautiful?
Gone is the old, tired, 1/2" thick asphalt. It used to be the concrete section looked schnazzy ... now it's the part that looks old and tired! Just beautiful work. We are happy.
