A new Tuesday ritual?

Tuesday's temperatures were going to be into the triple digits, and since mom and Kelly don't have air conditioning, I thought that I would take them out to some places that were cool. It turns out that mom and Kelly thought that they were cool in more ways than one!!

I picked them up around 7am to get an early start. Mom knew where I was planning on taking them for breakfast but Kelly didn't. I thought it was going to kill my sister not knowing where we were going. Oh course, mom and I kept telling her it was either some tofu place or someplace like McDonald's. I know I am so evil. But what can I say, it's in my nature. LOL.

We finally got to downtown and found a place to park in front of Crepeville. I have taken mom there a few times before, but this was Kelly's first time. Kelly is a real sucker for crepes and I thought that this would be a nice surprise. Not to mention that they have FANTASTIC food!!!

I sat them down at a table to look over the menu. I thought for sure we would be there by lunch time before they figured out what they wanted to order.
Kelly looked a little disappointed when she opened the menu and found all kinds of savory crepes and no sweet ones. Oh course mom and I had to tease her about it, but then we showed her the back of the menu with all of the dessert crepes. You can see the joy she found when she read that part!
Naturally we all ordered something different. I was trying to stay within my healthy eating if you can actually do that at a place that sells crepes. Luckily, I knew from before that you can get a plate of fresh fruit as a side or instead of your potatoes. Uh hum....I added mine as a side with my potatoes. Since Kelly got a dessert crepe, she ordered a side of potatoes. You can see how big the portions are! But trust me they are well worth it.
Here is my order. You notice that there is a couple of bites out of it before I took the picture!! LOL. I ordered the Canneloni crepe. There were others that had more veggies and stuff but oh it tasted sooo good. I only ate about a quarter of it and took the rest home. You can't imagine how hard it was to take it home. But I was good.
Mom ordered the Californian crepe. It was full of veggies, and avocado with sour cream. Yep, there are a few bites out of that one too!!

And last but definitely not least, was Kelly's order. She ordered a dessert crepe that was a Raspberry Blintz. Man it looked good. The crepe was surrounded with applesauce. Mmmm.

If you would like to know a little bit more about Crepeville, I found a site that has there menu and some great reviews. Just click here to check it out.

After we had stuffed ourselves with food, we walked across the street to the Buckhorn to see what they offered for lunch. Hey, hey, now, off my back, it was for Jim's lunch not mine. LOL. We looked over the menu there and then did some window shopping at the bead store, and a pottery store. It was a good thing that they weren't open yet, they had some fantastic stuff to look at. But since they weren't open....no money was spent....at least at that trip.

I was trying to think of things that weren't that costly to do and I thought of the farmers market. It had been awhile since any of us had gone to one, and I thought it would be a blast. Besides, there are always some free samples!!

The farmers market didn't open until 10am which was going to give us plenty of time to check it out, get back to the Buckhorn to get Jim's lunch, and then deliver it to him by noon. Whew. By the time we found a parking place downtown at 9th and P street, we were cutting it really close. The only parking place I could find was a 30 minute only. I told mom and Kelly that we are going to have to really hoof it today. They were up for the challenge. The very first table we came to had some blackberries. Oh man, the lady let us sample them. I could have eaten at least a bushel of them right then and there. But we walked on. We promised to come back before we left though.

There weren't a ton of people there but enough that it was hard for me to get too many pictures. Not to mention I was too busy sampling all of the great produce. But here is mom and Kelly pondering over whether or not to buy this tomato. Ok, this photo is staged, since mom and I both planted three tomato plants at home, but it's a good photo!! LOL.
Now you know that this photo isn't staged...mom and Kelly would kill me if they knew that I took a photo of their backsides!! We saw some absolutely beautiful flowers there. If I was going straight home, I might have bought some.

Before we left the market, we found a table that was selling some cheese. OMG, this cheese was excellent! Mom bought some for us to share....she conveniently forgot to give me some when I went home. Just kidding, I had to leave quickly to go get Jim, and didn't get to take any home. But I had to give her some grief anyway. We did stop back at the blackberries and I bought 3 small baskets of them. They actually made it home. But not for long!!!

We finished off our day by getting a free Baja fish taco from Long John Silvers and having lunch. Once again I have told my mom about something good, and until I take her to it or make her eat it, she waits forever to try it. Turns out she really likes them. Go figure. LOL.

We stopped off at the drug store and the grocery store, then I took them home. It was a long hot day, but it was a fun day. The whole day, mom and Kelly kept asking if we are going to do this again next Tuesday. Well we may do the farmers market but all of the eating out is not going to happen. But it was fun non the less.

We'll see what is in store for me next Tuesday.
