I went to the Loveland Farmers Market yesterday. Don’t you just love the name of that town…”Loveland”! Anyway, I bought some of my most favorite bread ever–the “Bad Boy”. Really…that’s what it’s named. Needless to say, it’s fun ordering…”May I have a Bad Boy please?” It’s kind of like an everything bagel, but crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. Made locally by Blue Oven Bakery in Williamsburg, Ohio, in a wood fired oven –it’s heavenly!
I also made an easy new “healthy” recipe last night. It’s 1/2 cup of cooked chicken (I put a little olive oil in a pan, cut the chicken tenderloin into 1/2 inch pieces, and cooked it on the stove for about 10 minutes), 3 tablespoons of a sweet apple cut into small pieces, 2 tablespoons of red grapes cut into small pieces, and 1 tablespoon of honey on a large Romaine lettuce leaf. You just eat it like a taco. Surprisingly, my husband even liked it. The honey gave a sweetness so you didn’t feel like you needed dessert. I served a piece of the bread (buttered) along with it…so yummy!
I couldn’t resist bringing home a bouquet of flowers (including sunflowers) from the market and some lovely homemade soap (made with 6 oils)…
I jogged almost 3 miles yesterday morning and after dinner, my husband and I hiked 3 miles. I took a shower and used my new soap before bed…it made my skin feel so soft…loved it! Slept like a baby! Hello Morning! It feels good taking care of yourself!!

I love our local farmer’s market here in Essex, it’s a great place for cheese, bacon, sausages, freshly pressed juices and even venison. The one in Edinburgh under the castle is good too

If you do decide to do a garden, look into square foot gardening because that is the only way my husband could get me interested and I think it’s a good way to start.

Your picture of the “Bad Boy” reminded me again of what I, as a German, really miss here in the US: the hearty German bread and breadrolls. Well, meanwhile I can get some fairly good breads at certain bakeries, but not the breadrolls I’m used to. Maybe at some time I’ll give baking them a try myself.
Take care, and have a good one,
Pit

That bread, could I have a slice – please …. *smile – soap ???? Can’t remember when I showered and washed myself with pure soap – maybe I have to try something very special for that. When the body feels good the soul feels good too. Thanks for a lovely post.
