Wallingford Farmers Market, Wallingford Park and Trophy Cupcake.

On Tuesday, I thought it was Wednesday. SO, I headed to Wallingford after Z's nap to take in the Farmers Market and the park. I just quit Spud CSA, which is another story, so I was fresh out of veggies and fruits. I may not be the best when it comes to eating all my fruits and veggies, but I am doing good by Z. If I ate what he ate every day, I would probably have dropped the last lingering 10 pounds of baby weight. This is where the cupcake comes in. and the daily full fat latte. After buying whole milk for the last 6 months, I am finding it extremely difficult to go back. A double short iced latte with whole milk is pretty much heaven.

SO, it is Tuesday and I am walking to the Farmers Market, which is great, but the market is on Wednesdays. take note. I was a little bummed, but the outing wasn't a complete wash. I did walk right past Trophy. I feel pretty critical when it comes to other peoples baked goods, and although I want to have something bad to say about Trophy, I've got nothing. First, I love the ambiance..the coolness, the retroness of it all. I love the line of birthday cards and doo-dads they offer. and, I love the fresh and creative look of their cupcakes. there, I said it. and, I love the cupcakes themselves. they are moist, and tasty. there, I said it. again. The potential competition has great cupcakes. well, I guess it wouldnt be competition if they sucked, right? I am thoroughly intrigued by the s'mores cupcake, but I have yet to try it. guess I will have to go back. oh, and, they make a pretty good full fat iced latte too.

The Wallingford playfield is a nice little playground. Plenty of green grass, a wading pool which has been nice this summer and a small kiddie area, separate from the big kid jungle gym. My only gripe is that I wish the play area was a bit more shaded. I went in the heat of summer and it was roasting. there is a picnic area that is on the far side of the park, nicely shaded and lovely under a canopy of trees, so there is shade around if you seek it.

The Farmers Market, on Wednesdays, is a nice afternoon outing. Though small, the market has a good array of seasonal stuff. and, I believe there is gelato and tamales to be had as well. Maybe, now that it is Wednesday, I will head back after Z's nap. oh, wait, its Thursday.
