Farmer's Market and African Scotch Eggs

Today Randy is sitting in on some meetings at the Museum. In between meetings we went out to pick up his suit from the cleaners, and on the way back we found a very good Farmer's Market. It has several rows of vendors selling fruits, vegetables, flowers, organic this-and-that, cheese, hummus, and a lovely display of mushrooms.
There are several food vendors there, also. We decided to try something different at an African vendor - it's a Scotch Egg with the outside coating made from ground Black Eyed Peas. 
I do not recommend this. It had an odd flavor, very little seasoning, and was definitely overcooked. I looked online and there are some great-sounding recipes for African Scotch Eggs, but this isn't one of them. Oh, well, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

But dinner made up for that! We joined Jack and Teresa for dinner at Ciao. We've enjoyed their lunch buffet before but this is the first time we've had dinner there. And wow, it was great! My order of Fettuccine ala Montanara was delicious, and Randy's Spaghette alls Carbonara was even better. Life is good!
