Saturday -
A close friend invited me to show off her 10 week old cutie to her colleagues and family at the Portland Farmers Market. The sun was out and we were feeling cooped up. I jumped at the chance to enjoy the outdoors and pick up some winter market veggies!
If you find yourself in their vicinity, eating their food would be advisable.
I'm pretty sure arranged marriages are frowned upon nowadays, but Mateo seemed to accept the idea initially.
Here are my fun farmers market finds converted into a fabulous dinner.
Leek and Potato soup with baby kale and chard salad with pomegranate and avocado.
Took us to Damascus, Oregon to cut down a nice Noble Fir at a tree farm we've visited for the last handful of years. The sun was out for just the right amount of time.
To say that my little guy enjoyed himself would be an understatement. It is a bit unnerving to chase after a wobbly guy with numerous stumps and on a hillside no less, but we managed to leave the farm all in one piece.
Do you think this will make me smaller if I lick the underside?
Another fabulous dinner of roast chicken while we trim the tree. "It's easy" as Mateo keep saying. At least that is what we think he is saying.
If this is just a taste of what the actual big day will bring. He was pretty wound up to say the least. It is pretty amazing the discovery these little guys go through this time of year. Christmas lights are his ultimate favorite and somewhat temper-tantrum inducing.
