Today was the day when we are all supposed to eat burgers and hot dogs at the Farmer's Market, but Serena was "let go" last week to make way for more needy kids who were desperate to get their community hours, and today Alexias came back in mid-morning. Seems with the rain they had a light showing of vendors and didn't require so many volunteers.
We headed out to this place, Mr Fish & Chips. We ordered the family dinner - four pieces of fish (halibut), chips, coleslaw and onion rings for $ 39 though with a couple of drinks and the stupid tax it is close to $ 50. Not bad for four people but a little pricy for three. The portions were generous enough that we could have got away with just two fish dinners. The fish was excellent, the batter crispy, and the fries chunky and perfectly done. I am sure we'll be back again.
After that, off to the supermarket to get food for tomorrow. I had originally planned to make a beef stew for tonight and have the rest for lunch tomorrow, but by the time we got back I knew it was going to be too late for the stew - it needs four hours at least - so the girls ate egg and rice, while I forced down the imposter yoghurt.
The stew is still ... stewing ... so no pics tonight.
I am spending the rest of my free time sifting through an old recipe book from the 1930s.

Fish and chips $ 50
