Farmers Market

Saturday was a fantastic day for the farmer's market! We weren't the only ones that had this idea...You can see the streets were lined with people (adorable nephews included!)































After the market we were starvin' marvin and headed over to Beaverdale for a bite. Goodson's or Flarah's? Ultimately Flarah's patio furniture won me over. I ordered the spiciest salad (hoping to bring on labor!) I could find, while Jon went with a Turkey Reuben.











At least once a week I feel like I have a 5 star restaurant right in the comfort of my own home. A couple years ago Jon ordered a fantastic Ratatouille at one of our Iowa City Favorites; One Twenty Six. He's wanted to replicate the fantastic lamb from that day since, and successfully accomplished that this weekend with the rack of lamb he purchased from the market! He instead served his with goat cheese (also a farmer's market favorite of ours) mashed nu potatoes and baked veggies (squash, zucchini, and eggplant). The finished product was a masterpiece and the work that went into it is documented below...and yes, he also did the dishes! What a man.
