Saturday we went to the farmer’s market and sat outside on a low stone wall by the Capitol, and ate pastries from Graze, and coffee and a scone from Colectivo for breakfast. Something like this, although we had a cherry Danish and a sausage croissant, which is just a roll like pain au chocolat<\/a>, with the sausage where the sticks of chocolate are, and this picture is a market pastry and a croissant.<\/p>\n

I biked over to a Sid Boyum benefit<\/a> and bid on and bought one of Andy’s photos<\/a> – also the featured image. It’s probably about 18 x 24, in a pinch together frame, not too easy to get onto my bike, so Andy & Deena will bring it Memorial Day. I tried a bit of Next Door Brewing’s Beer Pie<\/a>, that they describe as, “Decadent dessert made with a spent grain and graham cracker crust, our beer infused custard filling, and topped with a chocolate stout ganache.” Made me want to make a graham-cracker-crusted something for Memorial Day – key lime<\/a>? peanut butter<\/a>? (although in this shot, from Al’s HS graduation, the peanut butter is eclipsed by the strawberry-rhubarb which is not a graham crumb crust) Chocolate<\/a>?<\/p>\n

For dinner I made sausage pasta. I used a pack of D&G sausage from Mark’s freezer – D&G hasn’t shown up at the farmer’s market yet this year – although they’re still listed as a vendor<\/a>. I don’t know if they’ve gone out of business, or just not coming. Anyways, the sauce had the D&G sausage, onion, garlic, some roasted poblanos and diced tomatoes that I froze last summer, and a red pepper. And a dab of tomato paste that I managed to use before it went moldy in its little plastic container in the back of the fridge. It was a little spicey and a little rich and very good. I figured I biked an hour and a half Saturday so I could eat whatever I wanted. I bought a baguette on my bike ride home, and we had pasta and bread and salad. After we ate all we could of the pasta, and it cooled off, I folded in some mozzarella and Parmesan, and put it in a foil pan and froze it, to give to John and Megan as a house warming gift for their new apartment that they’re moving into in June. They don’t have a microwave right now, so it’s got to be foil to go in the oven.<\/p>\n

Sunday morning I did a little work and then we had asparagus tart for breakfast. Not Matt’s asparagus<\/a> because I think he had to have surgery last week, so not at the market Saturday.<\/p>\n

I recorded a welcome video for my class, and then I went to the WORT block party, and danced to the Rousers. Nice finish to a pretty pleasant weekend.<\/p>\n

\"That's

That’s Rockin’ John, probably WORT’s longest on the air DJ, next to the woman with the mandolin – that she didn’t play, just sort of brandished.<\/p><\/div>\n
