November Farmers Market and Pizza with Friends

Today was our last day to go to the Farmers Market in 2016.

And it was still nice enough to bike there.

I'm always amazed at how much food you can still get mid-November.
Few people go at this time in the year.

We stocked up so we had enough produce to last us until Thanksgiving.

And then some.

Meadow insisted on getting the strawberries from the reseller. Some were squished by the time we got home. Meadow ate them all and made a rainbow.

Of course now I had to make a grocery list.

We were having friends over for dinner and really needed to go grocery shopping. First stop Costco.

Everyone else has a cart full of crap. We stick with the healthy stuff.

After we got home Scott prepped all the toppings for homemade pizzas.

And then we baked them up with Brent and Shannyn.

Meanwhile Meadow and Eleanor had the time of their lives.

It's been awhile since we have had homemade pizza. I think pizza is the only thing I could eat every week.

The highlight was apple, turnip and buffalo mozzarella pizzas with a bit of spinach with a alfredo sauce.

And hanging with friends.

Red Wing Brewing has some really great pizza. The crust is something special. So we stopped there for dinner. Getting back to pre-COVID life is a bit strange, but we're getting used to it.

Duluth For The Day

After work I decided to drive up to Duluth to visit my little brother Blake. Scott would have come with me if he didn't have to work. Like most streets in Duluth he lives on a steep hill. I couldn't remember how to park on a hill so I copied the car in front of me. He gave me a tour of his house and when we were in his backyard I heard rushing water. There was a trail and some woods that we followed down a hill to Chester Creek. I had no idea he lived so close to a park. Or a waterfall. We walked a ways to find an old ski jump. Blake said he climbed it when he first moved here and a month later the city took the stairs down. The ski lift is still in use for sledding. Walking back to his house we passed another ski jump. Back when this was first built it was the tallest in the world. During World War II 50 feet was taken off the top to give to the war effort. The reason I came to visit Blake was mainly
