Thanks to my California buddies and a close parking space for Danielle's new Toyota, I enjoyed myself this morning at the Portland Farmers Market

-->

Seen at the Portland Farmers Market on the campus of Portland State University. When I arrive here hungry for breakfast, I get in line at Pine State Biscuits because I know that I won't be disappointed with what I buy to eat. The problem is making up my mind!



Today I had my first ever biscuit with sausage and a fried egg. Tasted really good even though I had to pat that sausage some with paper towels to soak up some of the shiny you can see in this photo. After I opened the biscuit, I spread both halves with strawberry jam and ate the egg and sausage with a knife and fork. I had a few sips of ice water with it. I don't need lunch, I can tell you that.

Picturesque scenes seen at the farmers market.



Carrots doing a pole dance in shade and sunshine.



Berries and fruits abound. I forgot to bring my plastic containers, so I didn't buy any. I'll get some at Freddie's on Monday.



An adorable table-top display between the scales at Winters Farms. I bought some green beans from them.


I bought some potatoes and two zucchini from a youth group selling veggies. I bought some Farmhouse Pate from Chop Charcuterie, a combo box of chocolate-covered cherries (milk and dark), a jar of bread and butter pickles from Unbound Pickling, and three jars of Mango Madness Pepper Jelly from the Rose City Pepperheads.
