Hot days

I had court in Contra Costa County today and stumbled onto a Farmer's Market right outside the courthouse. On my way to find parking in the ridiculously overcrowded area, it was a nuisance, because it blocked my usual route and caused me to loop around a couple of extra times. Thankfully I had left early enough so that I was still more than on time to my appearance.

Afterwards, I walked through the Farmer's Market, which was pretty exciting. The prices were pretty decent, and I ended up getting a bunch of stuff. I couldn't believe how sweet some of the peaches were, so I got a pound of those. Plus I picked up some fava beans (no idea what I'm going to do with them), basil (a dollar for a huge bunch!), foccacia (brings me back to my childhood), brioche cream danish (insanely good), and beets (I actually DO have something in mind for them). It was so much fun to wander up and down the street looking at the booths. I actually liked the fact that it was small and only about a block long. It made exploring the place accessible and not overwhelming. Plus, we are in the middle of a heat wave, and I was starting to sweat in my black dress. I can't believe it's over 100 degrees at this time of the year. Way too early.

I'm so jealous of L and L's M, who went out wakeboarding today. Stupid court!

When I got to Jim's house after work, I was surprised to see L in the driveway still. We ended up going to Rubio's together cuz Jim needed gas. Jim got a Baja chicken burrito and fish taco, L got a Baja carne asada burrito combo meal plus a fish taco, and Jim and I split nachos and an iced tea. Pretty good stuff. But there was no way I was going to attempt to cook in the heat. It really was awful today.
