We toured the new food market that will be opening in in the old horsefeathers location.

I was excited to see a stand for Coppa. I find thin slices of salted meat so delicious but I don't eat much of them because I generally avoid nitrates. Its one of the reasons I love procuitto because its just cured with salt.

Should I just grow a full beard? I never let the sides and bottom grow in for fear of looking homeless but I am so curious how it would look. I think the best approach might be to shave short and let it all grow out together.

We made our annual trip to the giant pumpkin farm. This year Cindy came with us. @terry got a great picture of us crunched in the back. This years pumpkin weighs less as I carried it up the stairs alone. Last years was full of water, which made it heavier and ultimately lead to its early demise as it fitted from the inside.

To add to my collection of Berry plants, I bought a black current bush at the pumpkin farm for $4.99. I love currents and you barely see them at the market.

Also, although the loufa plant finally blossomed. I don't think its going to make it :(

pokes through the dark overcast sky.

Yuck. Seriously, how did these nasty tomatoes make it out if the kitchen.

Or the camera made him that way, LOL. No I'm just exploring all of the cool camera modes my phone has.

@matthew made turkey stuffed peppers. They were so delicious.

Tonight we went on the Lincoln Park home tour. The old mansions were unbelieveable. Personally they were too big for my taste, almost institutional. The McKinney house was so incredible. The woodwork was more complicated then I even imagined.

At the end of the tour we visited three houses on soldiers circle. The last was was a very modern ranch house. The contrast was so stark. The bathroom at the ranch house was so awesome. I wish I could have taken more photos but it was the only picture I could take because they didn't allow interior photography.

Last night we went back to the pakastsni restaurant in the old KFC on Delaware in Kenmore. I really need to take my parents there. I think they would enjoy it.

This time they had this awesome egg dish.
