My daughters and I went to the Bellingham Farmers Market on Saturday. We stopped by Cedar Mountain Botanicals for some freshly-cut soap (my eldest chose "Lavender Mist," my youngest "Put Me in the Zoo"), grabbed some fresh sugar snap peas because mine didn't do so well in the garden this year (too! much! rain!), listened to the buskers, and met with my friend Clarissa from the Vegan in Bellingham blog for some exquisitely delicious food from Ambo Ethiopian Cuisine (spongy sourdough injera, spicy lentils, savory potatoes, carrots and beets, and cabbage so tender it practically melted in my mouth). On our way out of the market, I found two very cute pink-and-brown striped knit winter hats in the $2 box at Red Boots Design that fit the kids perfectly. I couldn't pass up that deal, but have since pushed any thought of winter away and focused on being here now, in (finally!) summertime.

Vegan Potluck
Well, this picture is of fairly terrible quality, but I wanted to post it anyway. On Saturday, Eli and the girls and I joined fellow Bellingham blogger CM (Vegan in Bellingham) for the vegan potluck she hosts occasionally. Among the tasty offerings: squash-and-bean chili, salad, quinoa salad, banana bread, and lemon-coconut cake. It was all so good! My contribution was chickpea bruschetta. We had a great time and look forward to the next one!
There were a few curious comments from yesterday's post about skunk cabbage, so here's another picture for the wondering folk. It grows in swampy, wet areas... which, as you may know, there are a lot of around here!
And if you want to learn more about Western skunk cabbage (who doesn't?), here is the link to the Wikipedia entry.
