Since moving to Athens, Saturday has become our day to explore. Allan heard about the "flea market" from a friend at school so we had to check it out. I've never been to First Monday in Ripley, MS, but according to Allan the flea market we went to was very similar. We spent three hours scouring through four big warehouses full of stuff and lots of outdoor tables. You can pay $10 to set up a table and sell your own stuff, kind of like having a garage sale that is not at your house! Items ranged from live chickens to those puffy dresses the little girls on "Toddlers and Tiaras" wear. Our loot consisted of an assortment of local fruits and vegetables, a small bookshelf for the kitchen to put my cookbooks on, and some Star Wars figures to add to Allan's collection.
For lunch we stopped by a little mom and pop diner that is walking distance from our house. It's called "Sisters Creole Market" and it specializes in Cajun cuisine. I got the fried catfish poboy and sweet potato tots. Allan got the jambalaya that he said was the best he's ever had. We give them two thumbs up!
We took another trip to the dog park because last week it started raining soon after we got there. Daisy had fun playing, but she is a little shy around large groups of dogs. We have to walk her into the group to make her play and we have to stay in her line of vision or she gets nervous. One lady had four smooth collies and they were so cute! We think Daisy is half smooth collie so it was really fun to see them all playing together.
Later Saturday night I made some muffins that I found the recipe for on pinterest. I don't know about you, but I feel like the stuff I find on pinterest is very hit or miss. I made some pretty gross stuff from pinterest recipes, but these muffins were definitely a win. Three simple ingredients: 1 box of sugar free chocolate cake mix, 15 oz can pumpkin puree, 1/2 bag of chocolate chips. Bake about 25 minutes at 350. Makes 18 muffins weighing in at a whopping 130 calories each!
