Farmers Market

Becca and I had a great time this weekend celebrating my birthday and our anniversary. We turned off our phones and disconnected for a couple days. One of my favorite activities was on Saturday morning when we rode our bikes down to the farmers market, which is pretty close to us. There is something so satisfying and uniquely freeing about riding a bike to a neighborhood market. We picked up some ingredients for a fun brunch and enough to pack a picnic lunch for later. We shopped for a bit, grabbed some coffee from Jives, and biked home with the groceries on my cargo rack.

I truly enjoy cooking new things, and trying to invent recipes based on intuition. What I came up with was really fun. On the side: Soft scrambled eggs like Gordon Ramsey taught us on YouTube. Fresh baked sourdough bread, lightly grilled, spread with herb chèvre, topped with cold smoked salmon, and thinly sliced carmelized onions. And, a few thick slices of tomato lightly sprinkled with sugar for another side.
