Thankfully Mom didn't come down singing "GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING TO YOU!!!...." so we slept in late and had a nice quick breakfast before Mom and Dean whisked us off to their Cleveland Farmer's Market. This place was awesome!! It had produce on the outside in an L-shape around a really cool historic building dating back to 1900 where the meats, fish, cheeses, baked goods, hot sauces, and all kinds of other tasty treats were displayed by I'd say over 30 vendors. It was a smorgasbord and we went crazy...sort of. We got a few apricots, strawberries, and blackberries, an artichoke and a mini-pineapple. Mom and Dean bought some salmon that Dean cooked on the grill for dinner- ask him to make you this dish sometime, it is definitely his specialty- DELICIOUS!!! We also got some local organic asparagus that I sing about in my rap about Ohio and Indiana (See Day 3).
We brought all of the food home and had a nice lunch and then ventured out again despite looming rainclouds to Findlay State Park. It was a really muddy hike and we had a tough time maneuvering but it was beautiful as usual and we had a nice time. It only started raining towards the end of the hike but we dried off in the car and made it over to take a quick drive-through of Oberlin College- the first college to accept women. It was pretty but it was still raining on and off, so we headed home to await the great salmon dinner, complete with Mom's great potato salad, asparagus and that huge artichoke we bought. As usual, hanging with Mom was all about the FOOD- which is fine with us! Dean and I took Baxter for a walk and then we watched the Bond movie Quantum of Solace and hit the hay!! It was a pretty exhausting day!
