Adrian, Cattitude, and I had lunch outdoors in Coolidge Corner, then went to the farmers market. I had mushroom borekas for lunch, because I don't get mushrooms as often as I like, and I knew I liked Rami's borekas.

We came home from the farmers market with tomatoes, yellow (shiro) plums, two kinds of berry, St. Nicholas red bell peppers, a baguette, some merguez sausages, and a few apples (and I think that's everything). Cattitude is eagerly looking forward to making tomato sandwiches tomorrow, now that large-enough good tomatoes have arrived at the market. It's early for the St. Nicholas peppers, but we were expecting tomatoes large enough to slice and put on a sandwich sooner.

I also tried ice cream from a truck that parks at the Brookline farmers market on Thursday afternoon; I got red raspberry chocolate chip, and ginger, and was unimpressed: the ice cream was nothing special, and this is Boston. JP Licks has peach ice cream this month, and the branch where I bought a pint of peach ice cream yesterday is also in Coolidge Corner. Still, I'm glad I tried it, and I have some Lizzy's ginger ice cream in the freezer.

I walked slowly and carefully today, because my hip was hurting this morning, and I walked a bunch yesterday (JP Licks and Trader Joe's, via green line C.) Part of being careful is that we took the shuttle bus that's replacing green line B this week, and then the 66 bus, which saves a bit of walking distance, and the trip home by that route avoids the uphill-all-the-way walk from green line C.

sends good joint vibes I need to get more ice cream

I am mostly taking advantage of relatively cool days, or any non-sweltering days when I have business in that part of Cambridge, to take an insulated bag to the Lizzy's shop in Harvard Square, which is on/near several bus routes, including the 73. My next dental appointment will be in Brookline, and if the weather is even halfway suitable, I'll be stopping at Lizzy's afterwards, probably just for ice cream to come home (the planned work should involve anesthesia, so I won't want ice cream right way afterwards).

Now I want mushroom borekas! I have recipes, but those individual kinds of wrapped items are fiddly, and a very good thing to order when available.

I agree.
