Farmer's Market day!

We've done a pretty good job of sticking with our meal plan for the week, but we did end up having the beans and rice on Thursday and just having leftovers on Friday. We ended up with more leftovers than I thought we would, so I think we're going to have to plan a leftovers day every week. I thought we would use them up on lunches, but I guess not.
We went to the farmer's market today, which was really fun. We slept in until 12, so we almost didn't make it (they close at 2), but we really wanted to go and I'm so glad we rushed to get ready so we could. We got a ton of veggies so next week's menu should be exciting, and we got SO much basil. We bought one bunch and then found a stand that had a buy 4 get the 5th free sign, so we got 5 more. I see a lot of pesto in our future. Unfortunately, though, the garlic stand wasn't there, so we had to get garlic from another stand. I'm sure it will be great, but the stand that sells only garlic and has 6 or 7 varieties to choose from would have been better.
On the way home, Ada cried on the streetcar and I had two older women ask if she was hungry. "Yep, but she's in trouble so we're not feeding her today." I mean, seriously. For the record, I fed her at the market right before we left, so she really wasn't hungry, but even if she was, I'm pretty sure I'd know better than random streetcar people. Gabash.
