I do love me a good farmer’s market. How can I not make a detour to check out what’s happening at the Kelowna Farmers and Crafters Market? The only downside for me visiting farmers markets is the in-my-face reminder of the slow state of my own amateur garden.

Super weather today for an outdoor market, sunny but not hot. When I arrive the market is in full swing.

Admittedly at times, I have a maturity level of a 12 year old. Leave it to me to take a cultural term and twist it into something for my own entertainment. That’s the main reason why I’m here at Sukho Thai. Tee, hee, hee. Some years ago, there was a phở joint on Kingsway in Vancouver, which also entertained me greatly with their name: Phở Bich Nga. Oh the memories!

Meetings. So many meetings. Today a meeting of the minds is to take place in Penticton, BC. Summer in the Okanagan is okay with me.

I love early mornings. It’s a rather peaceful time compared to the afternoon. I appreciate very much when businesses open before 7am. I have time for a quick breakfast this early morning at the Stock Pot Café. The diner is located in the busy Southgate Business Centre. It’s the industrial park where your thick-pile berber and windowpanes likely come from.

I must share this recipe with you. It’s not really a “recipe” since it only has two base ingredients, and it’s not really mine. I got it from an acquaintance who is trying to eat healthier. I have no idea where this person got the idea from, but I'm going to guess somewhere online.

Do you garden? I have been experimenting. Dabbling here and there with growing edibles in what used to be the flower beds. I never imagined I would spend so much of my time visiting the local Art Knapp garden centre.

It’s almost summer-time, yippee! I hope all you fathers out there had a good weekend. Did you take advantage of the free fishing? What a great idea for a community/family event.
