farmers market :)

so we went to noodles & company which I had never been to before

and we got these awesome home made rice krispies

and mac n' cheese with chicken which was really good

then there was the whole continuation of making the dumb croissants 

and so we rolled it out

and folded it

and we did this about 10 times and realized we still needed to let it rise overnight which we were very angry about

so since we couldn't wait we just made a small one

because the directions said we wouldn't be able to make them until the next morning

so we put the little one in the toaster oven

and after taking a break

we took it out of the fridge and began cutting

and folding them

into a little army of croissants 

and in the morning we finally baked them. My advice, don't make croissants unless you have like three days to kill

that afternoon we went to the farmers market

which was full of 

 fresh greens 

and beautiful flowers :)

like these

and these 

and lots of bake stands like this one with these delicious looking cupcakes and cookies 

I just couldn't get over how beautifully fresh all the greens were and how good they smelled

oh and ya know I brought my farm stand along

I had a great harvest of radishes 

and leafy greens this year

there was also this guy making flour on the spot which was cool

and all this awesome looking pasta

especially this one

and then we came upon heaven 

and tasted the best almonds ever of all time

the beautiful flowers Jacob bought me :)

I couldn't get over them

and when we put them in the vase

they were even more spectacular 

ICE CREAM EATING CONTEST AKA THE DAY I DIED

so we went to eats and sweets, the ice cream store where the competition was 

and after I got all suited up 

I took a picture with the rest of the contestants 

and I was so ready to win this thing

so the kids round went first

and this kid was so ridiculously good

(even without using his hands) 

that he won the competition

however I'm not sure he felt too good

then I was next!!

so they set up the table again

and while the boys played in the sprinkler 

we sat down

and got down to business 

 cheering after they announced my name was 'Izzy the Ice Cream Eating Machine'

and I was all excited and totally ready to do it

and then they brought out the ice cream, 2.5 pounds to be exact

and for a split second I was like wait why am I doing this again

but I was like no I'm ready for this bring it on!

until they put half a container of whipped cream on top and I was like really?... really!?

but there was no time to think because the competition began

my tactic was to

drink and scoop 

and scoop and drink

and it was actually pretty easy in the beginning 

and I was chugging along and everyone was pretty equal and I was like maybe I'll actually win!!

but that went away pretty quickly

when I started detesting the taste of it

and thinking

can someone win already because this is the most revolting thing I have ever done

like

even just the taste of it was grossing me out and I had like brain freeze in my shoulder

and was thinking

what the hell and I doing, I would rather die than put this in my mouth

and finally after 9 min that guy with the black goatee won

and I was like thank the lord

because although I ate this much, about 1.5 pounds 

I was feeling so sick

it was ridiculous 

so I went to the bathroom

and after repeatedly asking myself why I would ever do this to my body

I made myself throw up a little. To put it bluntly, I had eaten so much ice cream so fast that it was still cold coming up. Yep, I was like a human milk shake dispenser, nice right? 

and then I went and died

like literally I've never felt that sick in my entire life haha

my advice, never enter an eating competition of any kind of food for any reason ever ever ever haha
