Celebrating Summer in West Seattle
Today my friend Suhara and I visited the West Seattle Farmer's Market. New finds included: cinnamon basil, wild strawberries, red & yellow gooseberries, and tayberries (a lusty cross between blackberries & raspberries).
At the farmer's market, we assembled some treasures for a little picnic...and went down to the water. It was a beautiful summer day with the ferries passing by, gentle waves lapping against the rock wall, and seagulls screeching overhead.
We noshed on red gooseberries, triple cream brie, an assortment of cherry tomatoes, and a lovely baguette from my boy William at Bakery Nouveau.
It's the kind of day when...the locals gloat just a little.
"Doesn't it rain in Seattle?"
Yes. Yes it does.
Then in the summer...we have days like THIS.

That sounds like one heck of a picnic. Enjoy your summer, it´s snowing in Buenos Aires!!! Which is kinda cool since it never ever snows, but it means that it´s freezing cold down here, which isn´t so cool.
YOWZA! I didn't know you guys got snow in B.A. My friend Marc is there this week on business...enroute from Costa Rica. I hope he packed a jacket! LOL!
Hey, the picture you snapped of heirloom tomatoes are the exact ones that I used to make the yellow gazpacho we enjoyed... Need to find the name of them, they were so good! I want to plant them next year if I can.
ms. proust...don't even get me started on your gazpacho! I'd be swooning here for days!! YUM!
What gorgeous photos! It sounds like a lovely, lovely day.
Hi Tea! I'm glad you liked the photos...perhaps they'll woo you into staying in Seattle a little longer. ;) I know you're a big fan of the U District Farmer's Market...but if you get a chance, definitely check out West Seattle. It's smaller, but very charming. And with Bakery Nouveau so close...you really can't go wrong!
Beautiful photos! And yes, we have days like that, and like this one, too. Nice to see you at the U District market this morning. I hope you got some good shots there, too.
Kimberly...it was so great seeing you at the farmer's market! Yes, I was more on a photo safari than a shopping spree...Thankfully my friend Marc insisted on getting there early--it's a whole different world at that time. AND I got to see you...definitely an added bonus!
Cheers,
T
