Going to market

This week I will be working an extra day on Wednesday, to help cover for someone who will be out elsewhere in the park. Marc will be working at the Grand Sable visitor center tomorrow, and I will take his place at Miners Castle. I’ll basically be working on my Saturday – for overtime pay, but all the same it means a short weekend! So I decided to do my grocery shopping after work today, instead of on my one day off.

I always go into town right from work on Tuesdays to go to the Farmers Market. I bring a shirt to change into so I won’t be in uniform – although sometimes, like today, it’s cool enough that I can just put on a jacket over my work shirt. The market goes from 4-7 pm, and I’m usually getting there around 6 pm, maybe a little earlier – so I never know if there will be anything left! There hasn’t actually been much produce, although I lucked out and there was just one or two bags of lettuce left the last couple of times I got there. (The strawberries were a one-time thing.)


But this week, there were several stalls! I got two kinds of lettuce, a cucumber, and a whole lot of raspberries, for a recipe I’m planning on making. Then I went to the grocery store – and managed to make it through the list without too many detours! I did make one important purchase, though: pancake mix. I can’t let all those blueberries go to waste!
