Walking the Market

This is a cool thing to do. really like to just look at the food at these things...Not necessarily to eat something but I like to see other people buy and enjoying them.
I like to see the stalls of fresh fruits and vegetables all lined up. The food looks really good and people buy them there all laid out...
The only thing is this...
If you compare the prices there to the prices in the store, you will see that they really are expensive. I think they look so good that people don't care...But I care...

I WON! :)

o at the Horse show (see my main blog) I participated in something called a cake walk. You go to the tent and stand with two old ladies, a woman withher daughter and Mr. Pins.
Then music starts and you walk on these numbered tiles. When the music stops you stand on the nearest tile. The girl in charge picks a number out of a hat and if you are standing on the number tile she calls then you win....
I won! On my first try! The old ladies seemed annoyed (tee hee)!
Then I got to choose from a bunch of cakes. I chose the chocolate peanut butter chocolate chip cake! The one with the plastic wrap. It was yummy....
So I left the cake on the table and the next round the little girl won and she chose my cake...Then I had to let them know that I wanted it and didn't want to give it to the little girl...so she got a chocolate cake....I think it's a good life lesson for her...You can't always get what you want...

I finally met Lucy HO!

She was really nice too...
Aside from being a celebrity restaurateur - innovating, operating, selling and sometimes franchising everything from tea rooms and bistros to fast-service mall counters and table service restaurants - she also juggles a second career.
Multilingual, multicultural in background and the holder of a master's degree in costume design, she has for decades created and stitched the production wardrobe for the Florida State Opera

I went to a Hakka Taiwanese music festival and she was one of the hosts. See my MAIN BLOG for details about that. The food was really really good at the reception after the show..

I think I will try her restaurant..... :)Hugs

Dinner picnic

My 'Poetry Bandit'/ Mr. Pins made a picnic dinner for me and we ate at the cafe...
That is the first time I had anything like that.
He had the food in a white crockery pot with flowers and then he dished it out..
It was a 'healthy' meal too!
Now I really like Broccoli!

I thought that was one of the nicest, sweetest ideas ever....

Not overdone, and not all about the appearances...just sweet.....
HUGS :)

BratDogs

Easy to make, so that is why I did it...
As usual I entertained so everything was VERY informal..
Bratdogs, serve yourself, chips and cookies...I never serve soda. I won't be a party to the demise of my friends health.....
They seemed to have fun regardless, and started the ganging up on me from there as they sat and watched TV. We had to eat and run though.....
