Lisa started this and Dave added stuff. Woke up leisurely and went to breakfast at Will's taco cart at a Farmer Market (note the singular). There was only one farmer and Will. The farmer was a Vietnam vet and we talked a bit and bought some nice vegetables for the dinner tonight. At Will's cart we had a Baja shrimp taco, which had mesquite sauteed shrimp, with organic local and green and purple cabbage and chipotle mayo; Chorizo and Potato – spicy pork chorizo with local organic potatoes and cotijo cheese, onions, tomatoes, lettuce and an egg; and mexican beef – grassfed organic ground beef with organic oregano, queso fresco cheese, local organic tomatoes and lettuce. Very creative and tasty. The queso fresco was new for me and I will get more.
Went to North Market which is a large indoor/outdoor market where you can get a wide variety of fresh vegetables and other food of top quality. We got some sun dried tomato and asiago ravioli that we will have for dinner.
Dave took most of the afternoon to make spaghetti sauce from Lisa's garden tomatoes and to prepare artichokes which we brought from our garden in Canton. The intent is to eat an Italian dinner when we get back from Mass. We went to 4 pm Mass at St. Mary's and Lisa likes to take photos of a new church that we attend. We were looking at stained glass windows and I turned around and saw a seminarian we had befriended in Canton, Michael Jablonski, standing at the back of the church. On the way out to Columbus, I had mentioned to Dave that we should go see him at the Josephinum, which is a seminary. He was in Canton a few summers ago and Dave had taken him out to lunch. What a small world.
We started the Italian meal with a first course of the artichokes, wonderful, tender, succulent. Had a very good Sicilian wine with the meal. Then the ravioli, top notch. We did not even cook the pasta or use much of the sauce we spent the afternoon making.
Leisurely day tomorrow watching football.
