Yesterday, we spotted our first bluebottle jelly fish on the beach. A strong northwesterly wind blowing for a few days blew loads of these beauties into our waters, with their white bubble heads and long dark blue stinging tentacles. I was actually already heading out for a run instead of a swim when I saw a ton of them washed up and the sign that read "Blue Bottles in the Water!" This did little to deter the real beach-diehards, or perhaps just the non-sign-readers.
This morning, we went to the Thursday morning Farmers Market. Largely populated by small organic farmers, there were some amazing products present. We breakfasted on a chocolate brioche (YUM) roll from a local bakery's stand, and an amazing array of samples - an incredible blue cheese from a local dairy, a bite plate of fresh made guacamole and babaganous, cane juice freshly squeezed through a machine that looked like a mulcher, and other delicious bites and munchables. Still feeling fairly flat broke but adventerous, we scouted the best deal bins and bought an enormous ripe Japanese cucumber, some fresh tomatoes, and a lovely green head of fresh spinach. All of which will make for a really exciting quiche, or scramble eggs, depending on our our stove-top quiche skills turn out.
All of which is incidental at the moment, because we have pizza leftover from work last night in the fridge, strongly calling our names. Ciao for now, it's lunchtime!
