a couple
August 22, 2010 of words for you…
Sample from HLS swag bag.
Meh. Very disappointed. 5/10
However, impressive.
Boulder, CO sunshine!!
Market time.
I bought these solely for how GORGEOUS they are.
Purple!!
Pop!
Rainbow love.
Squash it.
Droop.
New lovely friend!
love. LOVE. LOVE!! {listen to them!}
Italiano. Best bread I have ever had. EVERRR.
After this fun day in Boulder, we came home to go through everything in the basement + get it packed up. We were ruthless with purging and it was faaabulous. We have a HUGE donation + trash pile. By the end of the night I was covered in dirt and dead bugs. Seriously. Made a good dent though!
This morning I also went on a 3 mile walk/run at Wash Park in my Vibrams!! I probably ran a total of 1 mile in .25m increments. It felt great! I’m hoping to keep up with that and increase the running slowly. I *think* my feet are ready!
Niiiiiiight.

Nooooo! Don't write off the Vega stuff yet - I've tried all 3 (thank goodness for Whole Foods samples) - the tropical one is mank, the chocolate one is 7/10 and the almond & vanilla is AMAZING!! Believe me :)
Well done on the run!
great run well done! the market looks lovely, those two tone squash's look beeeutiful!!

What beautiful produce!! You take awesome pictures, too! :D
What awesome pictures frmo the market!!!
Beautiful photos!!! Happy to hear about your running -- I think you're doing great. Bet it feels good to not have pain in the Vibrams! I can't wait till marathon training is over so I can start using mine again (decided to wait for another 6 weeks or so). Anyway -- looks like you had a lovely Saturday! :)
I love purging our closets and basement. Such a great feeling!
Those photos are so beautiful! My husband and I are considering a move to Colorado, and your posts are very convincing. :) Sounds like a wonderful day in Boulder!
i love boulder farmers...those tomatoes in a jar were my favorite thing i saw there last time! too cute :)
I love farmers' markets! I found a couple in Crested Butte and Denver when I was there in July. I just posted some great finds from one of our local markets. Great Rainbow chard!!
I love the farmers market! Sadly, the one around here is terrible :(
So you didn't like the vega smoothie? I have heard they were awesome!
I've heard great things about Boulder. Will you be far when you move?
Amazing market pictures, really beautiful!
Man, I need to visit Colorado. I've heard such good things!
xo

Now I badly want to see a picture of this "best bread ever"!
Aw, I got the Chocolate Vega Shake stuff and it is pretty goood. Don't give up on them ;)
Love love those purple peppers, gah they're cute.
I'm sad you guys are moving further north, now! But, there is a Lot of fun stuff to do in Ft Collins - so I guess our dates will just have to relocate, heh.
Good luck with the rest of packing!
Looks like a fun day! Every post makes me wan to move to CO...or at least come visit. :)
I got the chocolate flavor Vega and really like it! Perhaps it's the flavor difference. I agree that the ingredients are stellar. You make me wanna move to CO!
I'm so jealous of everyone and their HLS vega. Those veggies are amazing. My farmers market is just sorta meh.
I can't wait to visit the Boulder's farmer market! Looks like a mecca for fresh, local produce!!! Yumyumyum. Also, I saw that unicyclist guy performing on Pearl St. a couple weeks ago when I was looking for apartments up there. He really adds to the hippie-ish Boulder atmosphere, don't you think?
Beautiful colors of the farmers market. Nature produces the most vibrant, beautiful things:)
I love your veggie photos, theyre gorgeous!
Beautiful market shots! The swiss chard in itself is utterly inspiring :)
What a fun weekend!! :) I love tropical smoothies, even if they taste sub-par. Seriously, I'll eat anything.
good to know that flavor is not that great! the vanilla almondilla one is delicious! i have teh chocolate one next to try!
ahh i love local produce :)
YEAH, your blog loaded, maybe it was just a glitch? :) Looks like SUCH a fun day!!
Remember how you told me yesterday that you need to think of a topic for a guest post? Let's just post this one, ok? Ha. The end.
No, but really, your photos are brilliant. What type of camera do you use? I need a new one and am willing to spend the big bucks. And by big bucks, I mean the little bucks. If ya know what I'm sayin'. (You do)
I'm going to eat my screen. Oh, and that shirt/dress you're wearing is gorgeous, like you. :-)
Gorgeous veggie photography :)
Thank you so much Rebecca!! I'll definitely come up with something for you, once we're moved + settled in.
I hope it keeps working for you!
So I've heard!! I also hear the chocolate is really good. This just had a funky flavor + aftertaste. I think tropical is hard to get right in powder form. I think it will be better blended with banana + other fruit.
Thank youuu!
Are you back here now?? We'll have to meet at some point! And yes, he does!
I've heard the chocolate + vanilla are really good. This just had a funky taste + after taste. It will be better blended with other fruit..but that defeats the point of it being shake + go!
Not giving up! ;) I've heard good things about the choco + vanilla flavors. The purple pepper tasted like POO :(
There was bad lighting...but I can't stop thinking about it!!
Just an hour away. Not too bad!
I've heard vanilla + chocolate are. I haven't seen any other reviews for the tropical flavor yet, but it was just really not that good. I'll definitely use it but will blend it with other things..which sort of defeats it's main purpose. Oh well! At least it was free! ;)
I still need to get to Crested Butte!
Thanks chickie. I'm itching for a good run! Can't wait to hear how it goes for you once the marathon is over.
Thank you so much Sara!
Yeah...I don't get it though. Couldn't they have just stopped at Chocolate + Vanilla. They have to know the tropical one tastes really bad!!
I was going to come up with something coherent about the food, but all I could think was "DIDGERIDOO!!!!!!!" =) One of my friends brought his into school our Junior year...it was awesome.
hey! i just moved to boulder as a transfer student to cu. i'm in LOVE with the farmers market, and if you ever want to go together, let me know! ari.stilwell@gmail.com is my email!
Thanks for saying hi Ari! We're moving to Ft. Collins next weekend, so I probably won't make it back to Boulder for the market this year...but we should still try to meet up at some point. Good luck at school!
