Saturday’s food fest

Now that Hurricane Bill is out to sea, we can all breath a little easier.   My DH survived the storm in Cape Breton, but nearly passed out due to the boredom.  High winds equals no power  equals no internet.

Although the weather was the main topic this past weekend, we did do other things.

Cousin San is keeping me company and agreed to a shopping spree in Moncton.  As all good Maritimers know, the first stop on any trip is Tim Horton’s for the breakfast of champion shoppers.   Renown for their coffee, Tim’s is a favourite in the Maritimes due to steeped tea.   No warm water sloshed into a paper cup, this is real tea made properly with boiled water and allowed to steep.

Our first stop was the Moncton Farmers’ Market.  Despite the humidity the market was a buzz with people.  If you visit New Brunswick, take the time to stop at a farmer’s market, you won’t be disappointed.  All the food was delicious looking but we settled from dulse, new potatoes and peaches & cream corn.

Like all good shoppers we had a plan – market, Costco, Harveys and Value Village (with a few shops in between).   We managed to stick with our plan and had a great time.  Thanks again San!
