Cheese and Groceries

Saturday cartoons have been the only thing missing from today. An in-depth discussion with my son this morning, identified this lack so the replacement was the movie Thor: Ragnarok. Super heroes and super villains in intergalactic battles. Marvellous special effects played out in space and time with just the right amount of cheesiness. But enough of a movie review. 

Once we were all up and moving, the three of us, Jason, Corette and me (mom) set off for the Trout Lake Farmers Market - grand dogs, Eva and Percy, remained at home supervised by grand kitty, Purdy. A chance meeting with friends put a lovely shimmer on the outing. The Farmer’s Market was full of kids, grandparents, parents with strollers and friends shopping for the freshness of the fields, orchards and gardens come to town. As well as produce, there were sausages, meats, fresh farm eggs, milk and cheeses from surrounding dairies and farms. The aroma of fresh baked breads, sparkling jars of honey’s and jams were bookended by stunning pottery and beautifully finished wooden bowls. Of course, there was lemonade to be purchased, our three year old friend clearly reminded us. Two bags of produce, cheese and bread found their way home with us.

This afternoon has been dedicated to visiting and cooking, eating and visiting with no specific plans for how the rest of the day will play out. Maybe out for supper or another cheesy movie at home - maybe both. Who knows? What ever it is, the only guidelines will be nourishment of mind, body and soul - fun and silliness required ingredients.

It is lovely to be silly at the right moment.”
