J and I went to the Farmer’s Market to get fixings for dinner, and I found all the herbs I was looking for as well as some gorgeous perennials for the garden – vervain, buddlea, cleredendra, abutilon and golden rod joined parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. We got shrimp at $5 a pound – that looked gorgeous. When I was buying my Creole tomatoes – the guy said of all things he had farmed the Creoles were the hardest, requiring lots of prep to get them going. I said, must be why they taste so damn good.
Then we headed to Elizabeth’s for breakfast of Eggs Elizabeth – a rift on Eggs Benedict but on buttery french bread instead of a tired English muffin. And ham instead of Canadian bacon. Yum! Another friend came to meet us there and debriefed us on her situation – which isn’t pretty – a tens of thousand dollar investment gone haywire.
I left them there to go change cars with L.
