Los Angeles, busy days continue

I remember visiting this place, Farmers' Market, as a teen, when I went to L.A. to visit my older sister, who had moved there. It's still the same! There were neighborhood people sitting around having coffee and reading their Sunday newspaper. The Bob's Homemade Donuts shop was still there. You can get pretty much everything you need from meat to fancy macaroons. There is one shop that sells just hot sauces and mustards. We did not give in to the tempting apples covered in all sorts of sweetness, but did buy some fresh figs.

Desserts!

What came in these lovely packages? A tarte au fruites (check out all those berries!) Maccaroons, big ones! They were wrapped like gifts. The cheese cake and the brownie came in plain wrapping but oh mi oh mi were they ever delicious. The cheese cake was so heavy and yet fluffy. How do they do that? NOTE: I've been spelling "pain au raisin" like this "pain aux raisins" then thought that was wrong, but I saw it both ways, depending on the boulangerie where I bought them. Who cares how it's spelled as long as I get to eat it! Yay for desserts.

It's August already!!!

 The summer is half way over, and glad about it. It's been so hot here and we look forward to cooler days.  I'm writing writing this...
