Let's lighten the mood...

Look at these scrumptious linen baby shoes from LaLaShoes at Etsy.com. $42 might be a little rich for my blood...but I am very, very tempted. Especially if I can find a matching outfit. May be perfect for portraits, or homecoming, or both.

Do you hear that? That's the sound of rationalization. It's a dangerous tune, and it's one of my favorites.

Farmer's Market Haul

Three Cucumbers
Three Zucchini
Three White Eggplant
Four Yellow Squash
Two Sweet Potatoes
One Pound Red Butter Potatoes
One Enormous Bunch Basil
One Big Bag of Fresh-Shelled Black (Purple?)-Eyed Peas

I spent $13 my first time out at the Farmer's Market at City Island this morning. Unfortunately, it seems like "farmer's market" is something of a misnomer. I really had to hunt between the vendors for locally grown produce. That being said, I did very well. This will make for some fun cooking this week, for sure. I'd never even seen white eggplant before today!
