OK, One More Trip to the Minneapolis Farmers Market

By
My solo breakfast. Everything homemade. Besides the banana, I don't know how to make bananas.

Maybe we can grow them when we make that big move to Central America.

"I don't need no stinken diapers."

Disposable that is. She's moved on.

We went to the farmers market for one last trip this year. 

This time of the year they don't need a freezer.

Some guy said to me, "You better pay me to take a photo of my grandson," as I took this shot.

I'll miss you local produce.

Meadow doesn't giggle very often and when she does I try to keep it going but it never works. 

Instead they both made very serious faces.


I hear these two.

On our way to the farmers market we noticed the car felt odd. Turned out it had a gouge in the sidewall. I ordered a new set from Costco since my tires were more or less shot anyways

This week we got cabbages, bell peppers, carrots, sweet potatoes, poblanos and lots of onions. All this for only 22 dollars. 

My dad makes looms for my sister's Etsy shop. On a recent trip to Hobby Lobby I saw a loom for making socks. I've never been successful at knitting socks so I thought this would be perfect for me. I sent my dad a photo of one. He never responded. The other day we got a package in the mail from my dad. In it was the sock loom done exactly right, he's so smart. 

We then ate leftover skillet carnitas.

Mr. Mike also sent us a DQ gift card. We bought buster bars with the money. I love buster bars.


This week is the last week the city will collect yard waste. We had some leaves that needed to be raked. 

Brooke decided to come out with Meadow in my jacket. I think she broke the zipper for good.

I had her in the Moby wrap and put on one of Scott's coats to make life easier. She was nice and warm in there. 

I had to make smoked sausage for dinner. I couldn't decide on one, but I finally settled for Polish.

The link was as tall as Meadow.

I had to pat it dry before smoking.

We borrowed a stovetop smoker from Brooke's gig at the Nordic Ware Factory Store.

While the smoker did it's thing, we hung out with little Meadow.

I put her in the Ergo so I could have free hands. She loves chewing on the straps lately. 

About two hours later I added the sauages to split pea, kale and chicken stock. Brooke later complained it was too thin. I thought it was pretty damn good.

Yardwork, Ikea and Pumpkins

My new parents-in-law got us a dehydrator for the wedding. Knowing we were going to be cleaning up the garden and going to farmer's market, we took a gander at our millionth kitchen device during breakfast.   Scott added granola to his oatmeal.  The oatmeal was rather bland, just the way Brooke likes it.   Scott was actually cleaning up so I had to take a quick photo of him as proof.  Scott told me he was, "putting a blanket down for Peanut," while singing. During the winter months peanut needs a warm place to peer through the window. Seeing as it was nearly November, I setup his blanket for him. Seeing as the farmers market season is dwindling down, we headed to the market...once again. The close proximity to the cities central farmer's market has to be one of the best assets of living in NoMi. We were both amazed by the bounty of produce still on sale. We quickly filled up our first bag and took it back to the car....

Work Trip: Scott Goes to Florida

By
As I mentioned in the last post, I had a job down in Florida at the tail end of the week. Daytona Beach to be precise.    I proposed the whole family tag along, but they did not like the idea of Florida in the Summer. Anyways, after my shoot I checked Ormond Beach just to the north of Daytona. Theo is allergic to the sun and I knew he would hate going.  If there wasn't four lanes of busy traffic, this town would be great.

Biking to Doors Open Minneapolis 2025

By
This weekend was Doors Open. We had missed the last couple years so I had a big list of places to see. I thought we'd drive to get to more places quickly, but Scott insisted we bike as it was easier to park.  Theo and I were ready to take some pics. We started out at the Rand Tower. My personal favorite Minneapolis skyscraper. Next we got to see inside a manhole. They had robots patrolling the sewer and a live video feed on a TV.  Then we walked over to the Dayton's Project. I really wish their food hall idea would have followed through, it's sad to see it so empty.  It's still mostly empty and I'm not sure if they know what to do with the space. We got to go in the nooks and crannies of the old JB Hudsons space, like this the old window display. There was lounge or bar that was opening soon to the public.
