Industrious Saturday morning, I've got no mind to worry...

I've finally bought myself a new bike (more on that later) to replace the one stolen from outside the CompSci department a while back. With the lucky advent of some relatively fine weather, I ventured out to the Christchurch Farmers Market at Riccarton Bush, with short stop in at Bramptons for Euronostalgic snacky treats. The haul follows.

Market:

• Colombian empanada
• Cornish pasties [one large, one cheesy]
• Moroccan spicy lamb sausages
• Chorizo [with paprika]
• Pane di casa [sourdough]
• Ginger, apple and pear juice
• Eve's Cider [good straight or mulled]
• Wigram Brewing Co. four pack:
  • Dakota Dark
  • Harvard Honey Ale [fresh new batch]
  • Münchner Dunkel
  • James Cook Spruce Beer [18th Century recipe - "spruce" actually rimu shoots + manuka]

Bramptons:

• HobNobs [dark choc]
• Haribo Goldbears

It's probably a good thing I was just carrying a backpack, else the urge to buy more nice things could have overcome me. (Still, there's always next time...) I will say though, it's nice to be able to look at a food, ask the maker what's in it, and taste it before you buy.
