We went shopping!

Today Simon and I went out with my visiting teacher.  We took in a sort of farmer's market.  It wasn't quite the sort of farmer's market I was hoping for.  I'm more into the locally grown sorts of foods.  I was hoping to find some veggies to start making Simon's baby food, but just wasn't feeling it.  It was hot and crowded and there were car fumes everywhere.  Then we went to a Mexican bakery.  I'd never been to one before.  I've never felt so Gringo in my life.  I picked a few things, not really sure what I was getting, and some churros.  I was told the tortillas are excellent so I grabbed a bag of them.  On our way out I had to get a photo of this case of Fud.  It's apparently a brand name and it was all over sausages and meats and I don't even know what.  I didn't want to feel like a friggin tourist so I quickly snapped a picture without looking at everything.  My husband will appreciate, as fud is one of our kinda inside jokes.

At The House of Pies
Then we decided to get some lunch.  So, sorry daddy, Simon got to go to a restaurant for the first time without you.  We went to the House of Pies.  Mommy had fish n chips and Simon had a bottle of their finest formula.  They did have to ask me what kind of potatoes I wanted.  I thought, "I did order fish n CHIPS, no?"  So I politely said fries.  Simon was very well behaved.  He only fussed a bit when he was hungry and Mommy practiced eating with her left hand.  It brought back memories of Mr. Steak and the little fuzzy animals with clippy arms they'd put on your straw.  I totally had a koala.  It also reminded me of House of Flavors by Grandma and getting red pop sherbet.  Good times.

  1. You two look cute together -- thanks for sharing! Gretchen, I'm sorry we didn't find organics. Perhaps we could try again when Nancy has a free Saturday. I think that the farmers market she goes to is only available on Saturday mornings, but it is closer (near Greenway Plaza) and should have both locally and organically grown produce.
