It’s market day…in the suburbs…Gas powered engines are revving. Traffic is flowing. A light snow and rain mix is drizzling down. It’s just like Tuscany or Provence, right?
Nevertheless, we cheerily made the best of it. I think we attempted to buy up the entire meat supply of our local farms–whole chicken, ground beef, chuck roast, maple sausage, bacon, chorizo, and ribs. I am hoping this will be enough to satiate the fam for a bit as they are a very ravenous bunch.

As the pic above indicates, the wife (hereafter affectionately referred to as “wif”, “the wif”, or “wif!!1”) and I have been ensnared by kombucha tea. It’s amazingly tasty for a drink that has a living organism or two in it, and Eastern cultures and California swear by its health properties. If it makes me a better person, fine, that’s great. I just like the taste. š
