Dudes. I spent the first several hours of the day at our awesome public market, drinking iced chai and standing in front of any fan I could find - it's 90
° today and sunny. But it was totally worth it, because I got an empanada and iced chai and all of the following:
- Three cucumbers for $1 (some are already on their way to becoming pickles, and some are going in a glass of Pimm's as soon as it hits 5:00)
- A HUGE bunch of garlic scapes - like 15 of them - for 50¢
- Three lemons and two limes for $1 (the limes are for margaritas, the lemons for Pimm's)
- Six peaches for $1
- Four ears of corn for $1.25
A friend is coming over in a few and we're going to make a double batch of chai concentrate and paint our toenails and maybe knit. Then when her boyfriend and Andy get back from a motorcycle ride, we're all having a lovely outdoor dinner in the shade, followed by a bonfire and some marshmallows.
It's days like this that I really, really love my life.
What's your ideal summer day?
Just had Pimms for the first time on Friday night. Yum!
ReplyDeleteA friend who runs a vegan bakery in NYC just posted a picture of Pimm's cupcakes on her Facebook page. I am intrigued, but don't think I want to spend $20 on a bottle of booze I'll be baking with.
