Showered at Elana's, had breakfast, then decided to kill time. Went back to the water and napped lightly in my car (sounds weird to my fellow NYers, but trust me, if you could do it, you would!!!), got a manicure (hottest nails in California), then back to pick up Elana, where we went to the Tuesday Farmer's Market--for me, the first time in forever as a retail customer!
Actually, went twice. First with Elana to hand out fliers about the light brown apple moth spraying. (this moth is disgusting. a friend of mine has a tree outside his house that is so badly infested that when I get into my car I have at least three unwanted visitors with me.) The state overruled the locals and went ahead and sprayed the pheromones/pesticide to eradicate this pest all over the peninsula, however the stuff has never been tested on humans and animals to find out what the effects are. I was in NY (haven't finished the blog as of yet, Mary's on her honeymoon and according to my blog she's not even married!) when the spraying happened.Back to the farmer's market. Went a second time with roomie and saw several people that I was very happy to see. Got lots and lots of good things--a couple of vintage loaf pans in which I plan to fill with breads, veggies (plan to make a beet, goat cheese, and potato salad, veggies courtesy of a wonderful organic farm in Carmel Valley called Serendipity Farms). Also got gorgeous heirloom tomatoes that I will roast and then figure out their ultimate end.
Saw Sunny at the market and he overheard me telling someone I was unemployed. He's a customer at the bakery and he may know of some work for me. Also saw Carolyn from our lovely tea service, and she too may have some leads.
Saw my Ilya, busy man, fed me as well.
