Farmers’ Market

Went a little overboard at the Waverly Farmers’ Market last weekend. Had to throw out a few items because I couldn’t cook them or eat them in time (in other words, I straight up forgot I had bought them). It doesn’t help that my kitchen gets unbearably hot and tends to speed up the rotting process for the fruits and veggies I don’t want to put in the fridge. I tried to be conservative this morning. That said, I did pick up a huge bag of plums (forget what kind, they’re smaller than your traditional black or red plum), 3 zucchinis and a pound of spinach for $13. This week will be busy with packing and I didn’t want to bite off more farmers’ market produce than I could chew.

I shouldn’t be surprised, but I’m starting to realize that Baltimore residents walk through a farmers’ market just like they drive – as if they are out of their minds and have no consideration for anyone around them. Saw a woman in a wheel chair battling to get through, people shoving parents with strollers out of the way, people blocking stands their not even buying from. I leave every Saturday morning wishing I would have brought a body guard or wore football padding. I got a very painful elbow in the ribs without a peep from the elbow’s owner. I miss Oregon more by the hour…and even more on Saturday mornings.

Health and wellness have been on my mind for the past 6 years, ever since my thyroid cancer diagnosis when I was 18. I batteled my way through the cancer, three times, along the way doing more and more research to help myself in ways that don’t involve radiation or surgeries (although I’ve had both, multiple times). I hope that this blog becomes a place to keep knick-knacks, knowledge, and inspirations. If these things are benefitial or interesting to others, then that’s just another good thing to come of all this.

Health & Wellness, Healness.
