Just sat down to blog and managed to spill orange juice (bought prior to this project at a grocery store) all over the keyboard. So if Mike complains about sticky keys later, you'll know why.... Now, on to blogging.

On Wednesday, we stopped at the Mukilteo Farmer's Market. The market is located right near the water next to a lighthouse. Great location except for one drawback- the train. I usually like trains, but the sound coming from this one left my ears feeling very unhappy. There were only a few vendors (perhaps due to the train... or the rain). We had hoped to leave with some olive oil (made from olives from New Zealand), but we didn't have any cash. Good news- we can find this olive oil at both the Mukilteo Market (on Wednesdays) and the Snohomish Market (on Thursdays). We didn't buy anything this time, but we now have contacts for grassfed beef and a vegetable stand that sells year-round.

We plan to buy this week's groceries either at the Edmonds Farmer's Market (open on Saturdays) or Pike Place Market. We'll have to track what's sold where and when and work out a specific plan to meet our weekly needs. I know Pike Place sells just about everything we need, so at least we'll have that to fall back on.

Thanks to my earlier mishap, we're nearly out of orange juice. Maybe we'll buy some oranges at the market and squeeze them ourselves this time..... -Trisa
