M and I walked by the Farmer's Market this morning. He was craving a peameal bacon sandwich I think. Someone was giving away free VHS videos outside their house, so I picked out 'Sam & Me' and 'Throw Momma from the Train'. Guess which one I got for the boys to watch (-: They had a good selection of old movies, provided you still have a VHS player.
M also got a slice of delicious apple spice cake. The baker sometimes sells the most delicious croissants and turnovers but she realized that people prefer more of the rustic, homemade pastries so she's been doing more of that.
I got some popcorn flavoured with sugar and a hint of salt according to the vendor who was giving free taste samples. She was selling leftovers from the Kinmount Fair. We chatted for a bit and she mentioned that she and her husband used to buy 'power of sale' properties at huge discounts. Then they would renovate them and sell them for a profit. They were able to retire at 50 years old doing that. She says she just loves being out and meeting the people so that's why she's out selling popcorn. I told her it's wonderful and lucky that she can be doing what she loves.
We're meeting some friends for dinner this evening, so no cooking today. L is watching Nadal on TV (U.S. Open) and going off to a pool party in a little while.

I love popcorn too. I have also discovered kettle corn, the sweet and salty are so yummy!
That apple spice cake sound delish! We have family coming over from the states later this week and I think that would be perfect to offer them. Especially with this bit of Fall in the air.
The McDonald's article was interesting. I've seen some pretty nice ones on this side of the pond as well. Glad to see they will continue with the healthier choices too!
Oh, meant to say... Pretty photo! Still looks summery where you are :-)
I love kettle popcorn, too! Mmmmm!
What? $45,000.00?
