FOOD PORN!!

Time for that food porn post I promised.  

I now have access to farmer's markets 6 days a week. I've walked through all of them with my heart and baskets full. :) I need to get a job to support my new habit! The kid has accompanied me to a bunch of them and has loved it too! 

I also found THE most amazing spice shop called Buck's! The lady who runs it is super cool and she ships all over the world. I felt like I was walking into a shop from Harry Potter. I almost piddled on her floor in excitement! Check out her site for more info  http://culinaryexotica.com/

Yesterday we took a 15 minute drive to go purchase eggs from a local farm. The chickens ran right up to us to say hello when we arrived. Thirteen Cedars Farm also raises lamb to sell for meat. We met the lambs that will provide meat for our table come winter. They are treated VERY well and they don't even leave the farm for "processing".

Same with my chicken ladies from G and H Farms. I'll be going to visit them at some point but they are a bit farther out. The difference in the meat from grocery store meat is VERY noticeable!

Several amazing local bakeries too...no crap added. Loving the baked stuff a little too much based on the way my pants are fitting.

Now for the food---all this has been made/consumed within the last 3 weeks. :) Lots of fish from the Olympia Seafood Company and almost all local produce. 

We've dine out a lot more than usual too. Here a just a few pics of the tasty things we've bought/eaten.

Lots of good vino consumed too. I've branched out into whites twice and found two not too terrible ones that are WA made. Lots of Ruby Hill reds consumed too.

Annnnnnndddd a few obligatory scenery pics because I'm so freaking in love with where I live! :)
