farmer's market @ the ferry building

my favorite broccoli! yummers!


look at the size of these 'september snow white peaches'!

...every tuesday, heather and i try to go to the farmer's market at the ferry building during our lunch hour. there we'll find a large variety of delicious fruits, fresh flowers, tasty veggies. while i like the pluots and artic snow white nectarines and peaches, i go there for the fresh broccoli [LOVE], padrones peppers (dark green spanish peppers - great sauteed with just salt and oil), and brussel sprouts. i never plan to buy much but always come back to the office with bags full of stuff.

757

Barry Bonds couldn't wait one more night to hit the record breaker? I was only taking the video because I liked the way all the flashes from the cameras in the stands that lit up the stadium and thought a photo wouldn't capture the true effect. Then all of a sudden Barry hits 757 and I tried to follow the ball from the camera lens, lost it, and scrambled to my feet.

Seb had given us the tickets in early july for an august 8 game against the Nationals. Who knew we would be in proximity of Barry making history? And who knew Barry would hit 757 tonight and so ealry in the game. We didn't have the fireworks or the speech or excitement from the night before when hi hit 756 but it was still good to be in the stadium. I thought of Heather straight away after the hit and had to call her. Told her she could have one of our 'i was there' barry bonds 757 home run button from the giants dugout store. She was happy. I hope Barry hits another one for her this friday!
