I have been on the move all day – so glad to finally relax a little 🙂
The farmer’s market was SO worth the trip. $17 worth of local, organic produce (although not certified organic – just grown organically). The grower of the lettuce has been supplying to the farmer’s market for 16 years! Found the red peppers for $1 each and can’t wait to have more okra!
Once home, I was on the move again –
And ran into this guy, who biked from the other direction!
Moooooving day for Michelle + Ben!!
Kate the spider
Check out the triceps on this team!
Matt found some of Michelle‘s pajamas in the dresser! It was quite a hoot
Cooper wanted to come out and play
The day was not complete without a roach spotting
Or a bit of thirst quenching!
Whew!! It only took about an hour and a half to unload that whole truck! TEAMWORK!!!
Everything was put in its place
And then we ate!!! Ben’s parents cooked burgers for the group and beer was had by all.
Onions smell
I had originally assumed I’d eat a veggie burger, but I decided that I was craving beef and could use a dose of iron 🙂 I had a small-ish burger on one of Matt’s jalapeno-cheddar buns with tomato, lettuce, ketchup and mustard. I ate about 80% of it and then just switched to bun 🙂
Plus delicious thirst-quenching fruit
And a few veg
Michelle and I split a Shock Top. I got to keep the bottle!
After another smaller unload, we biked back home – we’re only about a 10 minute ride away!
Dinner tonight is leftovers and our plans are up in the air. A movie might be on the agenda, if we have the energy!

Two Housekeeping Things:
1) Are all the funny characters gone? I think I fixed the setting that was causing them!
2) Those of you who were reporting a very slow page load, is that now fixed too?

See y’all ta-night!
Kristi says
I’m not seeing any funny characters…and the page is loading at normal speed again (it was really only slow once or twice for me though).
What kind of bike does Matt have? Looks like a scooter/bike hybrid!
VeggieGirl says
Farmer’s market goodness!! Can’t beat that.
Cooper’s a doll!! Looks a LITTLE bit like Chooey 😀
Those burgers would be better with some KERF buns, haha.
VeggieGirl says
Scratch that – it WAS a Matt/KERF bun!! Sorry, I got confused with the bun package photo.
Kath says
Kristi,
It’s a Dahon foldable bike!
Veg,
Def. with the whole wheat ones!
Kath
Melissa says
I love your bike basket. I ride around with bags hanging from my wrist looking like a fool. Oh the things I learn on KERF…
Lora says
Both the funny characters and the slow loading are gone – yay!

katey says
Everything is loading okay + there are no weird symbols anymore 🙂
Biz319 says
Mine had no problem loading up – teamwork always helps when moving!
I hear you on the onions!!
Jenna says
Hi Kath!
Don’t you just LOVE how much fresh produce you can get on the cheap at the farmers market? Can’t beat that!
I just started my very own blog today after a LONG time of reading yours and some others. I hope that you will stop by my blog every once in awhile and follow my adventures!
Also, would you mind if I added you to my blogroll once I get it set up? I have some work to do, (gulp 🙂 ), but soon it will be up!
Faye says
Aah! Moving! What a pain- we’re going to move sometime in the next 2 weeks and I’m hating it! Kudos for helping out your friends!
Red bell peppers for $1!!!! What a steal!
K says
Kath, I don’t know what I love more – your sunglasses or the picture of you rehydrating with a beer 🙂
Looks like a great afternoon given the move! Have a great evening!!
Ellen @ Peace in Motion says
looks like moving day went well!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
so nice of you to help your friends move. i’m glad i haven’t had to do that in a few years….
Alison says
Everything is fine on the blog to me! And that burger has me craving one!
Melissa says
Still seeing funny characters occasionally…
I wish I could find $1 bell peppers!! 🙂
Tammy says
Still seeing the funny characters :(!
Love all the fresh produce from the farmer’s market! You had a busy day!
caronae says
still seeing a few funny characters 🙁 have a good sunday!
Lele says
I think for food bloggers, farmers markets are what Rodeo Drive is to starlets. It’s kind of funny, now that I have a blog I go “ooh that will taste delicious” but also “ooh, that’ll make such a cute picture!”
Kathryn says
I still see the symbols….but only when I use Safari browser. Sounds like you had a busy day!
kay (eating machine) says
I love your bike basket-I think he front ones look cuter than saddlebags 🙂
I need one for my bike!
Jenn (www. j3nn.net ) says
Wow, I wish our move went that smoothly and quickly! lol
Great teamwork!
Blog still loading fine for me… I don’t see weird characters in Firefox; haven’t checked in IE.
Jenn
Hillary says
Bummer, I’m still seeing the funny characters! BOOO…
Susan says
So nice of you to help your friends move! I’m moving next week and had to hire movers. Of course, I don’t have a barbecue to bribe people with either 😛
Jenn Eats Nutritiously Now says
I love how you didn’t eat the whole burger just because it was there. That’s a good lesson for me to learn.
Pearl says
Still seeing some funny characters using firefox. Don’t know if IE is different…
Emily, homecookedem says
What a fun day with friends! You and Matt are too cute on your bikes!! 🙂
Tracy says
I can still see the funny characters…only at the beginning of your post though!
Looks like a great day!
Jenna says
no 🙁 the weird language is still there and your blog takes awhile to load!
Daria (Summer of the CSAs) says
Those farmers market veggies look great! And you can send all your onions my way – I loooove them. 🙂
Erin says
my farmers market costs a fortune. i was used to great produce at a great price where i used to live. now i spend $60 on a couple bags of produce. worth it for the taste, but yikes for the wallet.
Angela (Oh She Glows) says
SLOW PAGE load GONE!!!!!!!!!!! *dances*
kate says
I still see characters 🙁 But it wont keep me away!
[There was this thing, I dont know if you can see it, – after you talked about the farmers market being organic–hope that helps!]
Cynthia (It all changes) says
That’s an awsome loot and you are awesome friends for helping move. It’s hard to move by yourself so having friend makes it sooooo much easier 🙂
Steph says
Love love love the local farmer’s market .. I went today to ours as well! Summer time and summer foods are really the best from my food/eating perspective!!! 🙂
Serena says
Still having loading problems occasionally and occasionally seeing the funny characters.
Julie says
The site is loading fine for me, but I’m still seeing funny characters when I use Safari.
Sarah R says
Fun post! Love the bear stuff in the cabinet!
