Madison Farmers Market!!!


Today James and I ventured to Madison for the Farmers Market! I have been wanting to go like forever! I was not disappointed! We actually ran out of money. Here is a list of the things we purchased.

Corn on the Cob (from a vendor located in Watertown...go to Madison to buy from Watertown!!)
Tomatoes
Fingerling Potatoes
Green Beans
Bacon - yes...bacon!
Lettuce
Salsa Verde Kit (comes with tomatillos, jalopeno, garlic, onion) - I always wanted to try a tomatillo and it is surprisingly very sweet!
Watermelon
Apples - Zestar(?) - very good..juicy, crisp....yumm-o
Red Peppers strung to dry to use in cooking - kitchen decor
Sunflower Bunch
Glads (for Mom)
Beef Stick - 1 - for James
Cookie -1 - for me
Iced Cafe Mocha
Iced Tea

I think that is about it! About $50 worth!!!
We went around the Capitol Square twice, learning that we should have went around once admiring everything and bought on the 2nd time around!!! We had so much stuff we had to stop at the car once(luckily we found close parking - but we had to feed the meter.)

We both had a good time and I think in Fall when James is gone hunting I will return with my Mom and girls!

    You can count me in the next time, too - actually, all of us girls should go! You bought a lot, but you didn't buy any hot spicy cheese bread!!! What's wrong with you, girl? That's the main reason that we go to the market every summer. Was it crazy there today?

Baby Back Ribs - the super easy way!

Image
This turned out to be a super easy way to have delicious baby back ribs during the week.  Normally, I would never attempt anything like this during the week because it would usually be a meal that would require that I  drag out the grill to do.  In this cold - getting really old, Wisconsin winter, I do not want to deal with the grill.  That's James' deal, not mine and if we waited till he got home we wouldn't be eating til 9pm!  (that's bedtime, silly!) Carol's Baby Back Ribs  1 rack of baby back ribs, cut into 3-4 rib sections. Salt/Pepper/Paprika BBQ Sauce In your slow cooker (oh, yes...I did forget to mention it uses the trusty SC) spray the sides down with cooking spray.  Place the ribs in the SC and cook on Low 8-10 hours  (high for 5-6).  After the allowed time to cook, take out ribs and place in pan.  Slather with your favorite BBQ sauce and cook in 350 oven for 30 minutes.   Yup! Its that easy...

Favorite things

2 of my recent additions to my favorite things.  First I will tell you about this product I came to know and actually is perfect for the dry skin our winters cause us to have.   SheaMoisture brand products This stuff in particular is what I am using now.  I use it daily as a facial moisturizer. It is sooo thick I store it upside down and have to take the cap off to squeeze any of it out.  It absorbs quickly and it has oats, aloe and Vitamin E in it to calm skin.  It has a pleasant smell...not too perfumey.  I also have a nice Olive and Green Tea body wash that I am using too. I don't think its for African skin only....I was wondering at first and I do think the company does make a lot of products for African skin and hair....though after looking for pictures online to post of this I am beginning to think I am the only white girl using this product!   The website it pretty nice. www.sheamoisture.com  I will need to check...

Stitch Fix. I tried it.

Image
Well I did it, finally.  I ordered my first Stitch Fix.  I have to say I am a bit disappointed and I was so excited and hopeful.  I did end up with a pair of jeans that I surprisingly like.  Length is long like I like and they are a dark wash.  Nice to have another pair to wear. (I have like 10 pairs, I wear one.)   I did tell MY STYLIST that I do not like short pants.  Too short and I will not wear.  She did take that into consideration and I was happy about that!   What I learned - I need to specify NO BLOUSES.  I do not wear them.  Becky told me they (Stitch Fix) likes blouses.  I do not.  Also, while the dress they sent me when I first looked at it was like UGH, but I tried it on and it was actually ok. But, I am not in the market for a dress right now. So it would hang in the closet. Just a note on the pictures.  I am sick with a nasty cold and really don't have...
