The New Hood

So there's this church down the street (actually, there are about 10 that surround the park near our house) that has a stand that sells fruit every Sunday. Yum. There's also this place called Osaka Ya that sells handmade mochi. They also have a window that you can buy Hawaiian style snowcones out of (ice cream in the bottom!). Our favorite new coffee place is Naked Coffee Lounge. They have this drink called the Kerouac - four shots of espresso and cold (but no ice). Yum-OOO. There's also this event call Chalk It Up that was pretty cool. Here's some pictures from the new hood:





Next up: My recent trip to Seattle and more thrift store finds!

Davis + Farmers Market = Great

One thing Tim and I love about living in Davis is the farmers market we attend every Saturday. Typically, our day starts at "Coffee Guy's," stand, then to the Aisu stand for a sandwich, then produce picking (including the required stop at "Apple Guy"). Coffee guy is a little crazy and has a hippie sidekick. Aisu is this amazing stand/bicycle-powered cart pictured here:

The woman that owns Aisu makes homemade popsicles with produce from the Davis Farmers Market vendors. She makes 2-3 types of sandwiches each week with all local, in season items, as well. The one I usually get is the Classic: cooked greens, fried eggs, goat cheese. It's damn good. We were excited to hear she is opening a storefront. This is big news, heard here first possibly!!!







It's pretty great, they have this permanent structure and the market runs all year, usually on both Wed. and Sat. It's at Central Park, pictured above (notice the bikes Davis is famous for). Typically, the Market involves not only food, but also music, and quintessential Davis: a whole row of political-type stuff. You should have seen this place during elections.


I'll try to get photos of our local favorites (Apple Guy, Coffee Guy, etc.). It's nice to feel like we're becoming locals; Apple Guy usually throws in an extra apple for free and we saw Coffee Guy at the store the other day and we chatted it up with him. Makes us sad to move to Sacramento, but we know we can come back every Saturday and we will.
