 You know, we all had such a good time doing Link Love on Fridays, Tammy has decided to continue the project. If you’d like to do some Link Loving of your own, just follow that link. It’s easy! Crooked Coasters, from The Long Thread I’ve been struggling to make straight hand-quilting lines all week, so I … Read On! There’s More!  Around here, we love Thanksgiving. It’s a perfect holiday: you get to watch a parade in the morning, putter about in the kitchen and watch football all day, and then enjoy a delicious meal with loved ones in the evening. Best of all, you get to roast a turkey, which, in my opinion, is … Read On! There’s More!  2012 hasn’t been a banner year for my annual farmer’s market photography project. We got off track with our weekly visits in July, and after that, even when we did go, we stuck close to home at the Hillsboro Farmer’s Market. (The Beaverton and Portland markets have just become so crowded, the experience quickly … Read On! There’s More!  Yesterday, my family and I went on the Chocolate Decadence Tour, one of many tour offerings from Portland Walking Tours. It was a gorgeous experience, as you might imagine, so I thought I’d give you a little peek. If I could beam all these treats directly to you with my mind, I’d do that, … Read On! There’s More!  Just a quickie post, to celebrate the beginning of farmer’s market season here in PDX! And so begins my weekly project of immortalizing pretty produce. And then buying it.

Mom and I didn’t want to neglect our … Read On! There’s More!  K’s parents are in town this weekend, so we made an early-morning visit to the Beaverton Farmer’s Market yesterday – more than likely, our last market visit for the year. It’s quite a testament to how wacky our growing season has been this year – I’ve never seen the market this teeming with produce this … Read On! There’s More!  Woo-Hoo! We’ve made the farmer’s market three weekends in a row. Check out these giant onions! The Hillsboro market isn’t the most photogenic market in town, but the prices are just amazing. Seven poblano peppers for two bucks! Heirloom tomatoes for $2.50 a pound! Best of all, we finally scored pickling cukes. I do … Read On! There’s More!  I must admit, I really loved waking up not-exhausted this Saturday morning. We headed out to the Portland Farmer’s Market at PSU early, after a trek to our favorite waffle cart which ended up being closed. She said thwartedly. I didn’t buy any of that lush basil, as I live in a non-pesto-appreciating household. But … Read On! There’s More!  Life finally conspired to let us pop over to the Hillsboro Farmer’s Market this weekend. It was eerily empty, which meant things were amazingly priced. I tried to give as many veggies good homes as I could, but we’re gonna have to put our backs into eating it all this week. Unrelated: I do think … Read On! There’s More! |
