Quiet office days punctuated by visits from Levi, prospective family candidates, postal deliveries, conversation and working. Nice.

Awoke to a scattering of snow in the early hours of the day, an impromptu skating surface upon which to glide to the farmers market today. While a fair amount of produce still makes its way there through the larger vendors, the market is progressively “quieter” on Tuesdays as the weather and seasons change, with fewer vendors and choices. Friday and Sunday markets are still larger.

“Just another Monday”... a quiet office day
It's been interesting living/working in this very non-vegan country... greens are rarely on a table... staples are potatoes, onions, root veggies, pork and chicken, followed closely by beef and turkey, sausage and things like that. In the now, I'd have to say (ala Kermit) it's not easy being green, and definitely looking forward to accessibility of things like parsley, cilantro, avos, and more once back in the states.
The Hungarian staples shift progressively more and more towards root veggies and smoked meats and sausages in the winter months (as I understand it). Traditionally, pigs are slaughtered and dressed now in preparation for the winter. This tends to be a family affair, in past times over a weekend, now a process generally completed in full on a Saturday or Sunday. All family members pitch in to dress the meat and make hand made sausages and the like, with little going to waste.
