Began with the annual fair parade on Saturday morning. We settled into our same spot every year, took goofy pictures and admired a lovely meadow across the street while we waited for it to begin, and then cheered on the floats as candy was hurled at our feet.
Later that day I tried my hand at creating a tempeh sandwich. I roasted my leftover baby heirlooms from last Sunday's farmers' market and ate them with avocado, vegan mayonnaise (a hit!), marinated tempeh, and romaine lettuce. I wasn't impressed with my first try at tempeh, though--I think I'll need to try a new recipe next time. This one would have been just as delicious with an emphasis on the avocado and skipping the tempeh altogether.
Newly visiting birds to our house created an uproar with the cats.....there always has to be an eye on the cage. Blanche is just too interested.
And then the fair! Oh, the fair. You can always count on the fair, every September. It's like a town-wide holiday. If you're not home, you're at the fair. Everyone's at the fair.
Fall is just going to keep getting better and better, I can feel it.
Hello! I just became a new follower (as well as a new blogger as of a few days ago) and thought I'd throw out a greeting! Your town's fair sounds like lots of fun! I like the idea behind your 'Dapple of My Weekend' posts. Fun!
