Day 330 of the Adventure
It's Farmers Market day in our neck of the woods. Our local Market is not the biggest in the area I'm sure, but it's the closest. Since we are not far enough along this year to have a garden, the local farmers and gardeners have been keeping us stocked up pretty well. For our part, we've been doing our best to keep them in business! lol. Tomatoes, melons and cucumbers have been pretty standard for us this Summer. Personally, I hit the Jalapeno boxes hard. It's a wonder if anyone else has had a shot at Jalapenos this year with me trying to corner the market on them. I'd like to say that my selection of peppers has been of a noble cause. Like something healthy.
But no. I am strictly a Bacon Wrapped, Cream Cheese Jalapeno Poppers kind of a guy. In the smoker on top of that! My good friend Mitch introduced me to his Bacon wrapped, Sausage and Cream Cheese Poppers last Fall during a football game. So, my next batch will likely be that variety. Speaking of food. I believe we may be adding some food cooking implements to our outdoor kitchen later today. I'll know more by around seven o'clock this evening. I've always said my two main vices have been movies and food. Anymore, I'm even losing interest in watching movies. But unhealthy food remains a strong guilty pleasure.
I keep thinking each time I venture out to the fire pit before sunrise that perhaps I'm feeling a touch of Autumn in the air. Even though the early morning temps have been in the mid sixty's, I've still been able to wear shorts and lighter weight clothes that early. It's probably just an illusion or the side effects of an extraordinarily hot Summer. Plus, even though it's late August. It's still August. So that's enough of the "Fall Talk" for now. I'll be sure to let you know the moment I step outside on a morning when the first hint of Autumn Air hits my face and lungs.
