Congratulation to us.
We celebrated by spending the day peddling Bread and Badger wares in the 100 degree heat at a farmer's market downtown, but honestly, it was a pretty great day.
You see, I thought I knew what a farmer's market was, a small gathering of veggie vendors in a public place. As such, I was completely unprepared for this event.
This was a farmer's market, Portland style. A complete city block was filled with fruits and vegetables, flowers, cheese, wine, prepared foods, seafood and other meats including lamb and buffalo, all of it locally produced and fresh. Oh yeah, and mushrooms...
I have never seen fresh morels, or any sort of truffle before, fresh or otherwise.
If you ever get the chance, which is very unlikely if you are not visiting Portland, trying truffles is definitely recommended.
The smell is simply incredible, much like a morel or a porcini, multiplied by x100.
Which is more or less what they cost as well...
As for other news, I'm currently rocking a 'stache. No worries, I'm not planning on becoming a cop, I still have my goatee as well.
Cast your vote if it should stay or go, because I can't decide if I like it or not.

Wow! The farmer's market sounds fantastic! How often do they hold them? Mom
This one runs every Saturday from April 5th-December 20th. It also happens in different locations on Wednesdays, and two on Thursdays. There's another big farmer's market in Beaverton, but most people don't go out that far. I might have to start hunting down the Thurs. market closest to us! It was incredible!
I'm still undecided about Sean's mustache. It's taking some getting used to, but I think it looks good with the goatee. :{)>
I'm into it...the mustache...it makes you look thoughtful... not that you didn't look thoughtful before...now you just look super thoughtful.
It took me a while to get used to Pat's mustache. In the beginning, I thought it just looked silly. Now I think it looks distinguished. I think they have to grow on you. L
SEAN!!! Did you forget one of the first signs of evil? shave the growth, before it takes over your soul!!!
kidding. you actually look like you could pull it off.
I like the mustache. But then I have always been partial to facial hair on men. I think you should keep it!
I am intrigued by the 'stache.
Have you considered growing it out to Zen Master's Fu Manchu proportions?
I can only hope...
