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.
