recap-finally

After giving mom the 15 second tour of my house. (It is pretty small, but cute. I will show pictures when I feel like I am more settled and am not living out of boxes.) We headed for our traditional first stop Marmalade Cafe in the Farmer's Market section of the Grove. We sat outside soaked up the blazing sun and put a plan for the trip in action. Which involved shopping and a trip to whole foods to get supplies for pizza making at home.

I was surprised to learn that mom had never had a heirloom tomato. Feeling sorry for her, I bought one so that she could try. I don't think she will be going back to those mealy tasteless things at the grocery store, but then again every fruit and vegetable tastes good here.

One thing that we learned is that surprisingly hipster looking stock boys in knit caps have really great wine recommendations. I like reds that aren't that dry, mom likes white and sweeter chilled wines. With that he pointed us immediately to the Fire Road Sauvignon Blanc, which was in fact perfect and went well with the gluten free pizza I made.

That was day 1.
