Ok so I know I need to eat better, and I’ve begun to really admit this to myself and others. So I decided I want to eat more meat, veggies, and fruits. I’ve been on a farmer’s market kick recently because I went to a really cool on in San Francisco this past spring and loved it. Now that I’ve been off work for a week or two I wanted to do more stuff with my kid and got one of those magazines about what stay at home moms can do during the day to keep from going crazy. I thought it was pretty sexist because of the whole forgetting about the dad thing, but I did see there are famer’s markets in AZ!

Last weekend Donna and I hit the one in Ahwatukee together, and it was ok although it was small. We got some cabbage, peppers, hummus, etc… Not too bad, but we were done in 10 minutes. Tonight Claire and I drove to downtown Chandler for another one that is Thursday afternoons. I knew where the park was, and it wasn’t that bit. But when I got there I couldn’t really see the market. What I did see was a few small tables set up with tupperware crates on them. Eventually I pulled over and walked over to the crate. Low and behold they had veggies in them, although they looked wilted and pathetic. A man stumbled over from God knows where and looked eager to sell his wares. I asked about the peppers that looked amazing and he wanted three times more money than Sprouts organic grocery store, but I didn’t want to leave him high and dry since it looked like I was the first person to buy from him in a coon’s age. I picked up some snap peas, a grapefruit, and a zucchini that looked like it was on steroids. That one was for Donna since I hate zucchini, even though I sure do love typing the name Zucchini. hehehe.
