Rain Mixed with Snow and Pastries

I had a wonderful time with UskSeattle Adhoc Sketchers yesterday at Farms & Market in Everett at the Grand Avenue Marketplace.

Tina and Nilda and I spent the first part of the morning in Choux Choux Bakery with vintage Ray Charles LP playing on the turntable, coffee and pastries at our table and occasional snow/rain outside the big bright windows.

The half empty basket of round rustic loaves shows how popular the walnut bread is. Challah bread, warm from the oven, is destined for grilled cheese sandwiches and French toast when we get home. 

The food at Farms & Market was delicious and the staff, Chris and Rebecca were so hospitable. We’ve been invited back.

A new microbrewery is coming in 6 months as well. I would love to see the place this summer and fall when all the produce comes pouring in. Wouldn’t you?
