Market Bonanza Day

Day 33

Today was a pretty good day. I slept in a bit, getting up about 8:30. More on that in a bit. Went to the farmer's market and got a BONANZA:

Here's what I got -- From Creswick Farms, 2 ribeyes, a pork chop, a chuck roast, a package of hickory smoked uncured bacon and two packages of jerky. From Earthscape Farm, a small sirloin steak (look at that fat cap!) and a dozen eggs.

Yeah, I got a little carried away and I exercised a little restraint - the Creswick lady forgot to grab a package of chorizo, I with great hesitation passed on merquez lamb sausage from another vendor -- it looked incredible, but at $15.00 a pound I just couldn't pull the trigger this time. Maybe in two weeks. So much good food and it's not even veggie season (although there were some darned good looking carrots and hoop house greens).

I also managed to get in a trip to Meijer for stuff I can't get at the farm market and a few other things. I spent twice as much at the market, lol.

Also picked up a couple of items I purchased online this week, including an older Weber grill. I have one I'm working on restoring but I think I might just give that one to my Dad. I need to refill the propane tank, clean it up a little and maybe just maybe grill that Earthscape sirloin!

In exercise news, I got some, hooray. In addition to running around all day, we got in 6 holes of golf, walking and carrying clubs. I figure it at about 2 miles of walking, spent about an hour and a half out there. Yes!

Breakfast: scant 1/2 grapefruit

This grapefruit had some issues. No idea why. There wasn't much edible stuff.

Lunch: 9 Meijer frozen meatballs, 2 Kraft Big Slice sharp cheddar slices.

A quick one, need to eat before hitting the course. I continue to buy the cheddar slices for no good reason. Just buy the block, dummy.

Dinner: Taco salad, spicy pork. Hot sauce.

I know I eat this a lot, but this was seriously the best taco salad I have ever had. Unbelievable how good it was. Plenty of meat, every flavor was dead on, just fantastic.

Anyway, on the subject of sleep and stuff -- I was slow getting up this morning, lazed about, didn't feel real energetic. But, and this is a BIG but: Mid-morning I felt a surge of energy. Like I could run or move faster. I've been waiting forever for that! I even made it through the golf without any real trouble - just a little pain toward the end in the very upper leg muscles near the hip. I'm pretty sure it was just that they were tight due to lack of use and the fact it was cold. Not even real tired. Happy.

Today was a good day and it's time for a new counter:
