My exploration of Chicago's farmer's markets continues apace. Although I have to admit today was almost completely by chance; R was going to meet up with some friends at the Green City Market, which is a very well-known and largish market, and he stopped to see if I wanted to come along. I scored some excellent Indiana cheese. (It's like chevre and brie had sex. With your mouth.)

I don't know if I've mentioned here, I think I have, that R and I are considering getting a place together again. He wants to move out of the condo his mother owns, partly to get out from under her and partly because his new teaching job is on the south side. I need to move that direction anyway when work moves, and we know we can live together tolerably. Plus he's grown up a lot since we met, so I trust him with things like "paying half the rent". I mean, the man teaches eight year olds now.

Apparently this past weekend he won a shooting competition. At a bachelor party. At a cabin in the middle of Nowhere, Wisconsin.

Me: I didn't know you shot.
R: I didn't really know either. I mean, I haven't since I was a kid.
Me: You shot rifles as a kid?
R: A lot went on in my backyard, Sam.

The prize was the gun he was shooting. So now R owns a rifle.

RMED AND DANGEROUS.

1) What kind of rifle?

2) Dude, when are you and R just going to settle down together and adopt a puppy?

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

1) I didn't ask, but I'll inquire next time I see him.

2) He just got a dog, LOL. The first question he asked was "Would you be okay living with her?" and I was like "SHE IS THE MOST ADORABLE BABY EVER".

She is almost definitely the result of a love affair between a beagle and a rottweiler.

Where are you two registered? I'll buy you a cheese grater. :D

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

No no, we found the cheese grater! We're good on cheese graters! :D

I wouldn't mind registering somewhere though. There must be some kind of kitchen appliance our partnership needs...

[foxxydancr.livejournal.com]

no, no, you need a monkey shaped vegetable peeler (http://www.amazon.com/Boston-Warehouse-39393-Animal-Monkey/dp/B000IZAYR6).

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

I have to admit that would probably go a long way towards convincing R to peel potatoes.

[iamshadow.livejournal.com]

That puppy is going to be so prone to overeating and weight you won't believe, OMG. Beagles and rotties are ALL ABOUT THE FOOD.

If Spiderine's getting you that cheese grater, I can crochet you some lovely doilies.

*snort*

You beat me to that first question.

So if you get a dream job out of the area, are you taking R with you?

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

I wish. He's been thinking about moving to New York one day, maybe, but neither of us really feel like we want a city quite THAT big...

[a-boleyn.livejournal.com]

Too bad R already has a dog as my brother's Bouvier just had 10 puppies. So cute. :)

[hhhellcat.livejournal.com]

Oh Sam, you and your puns....

Rooming with R again would mean many more 'Conversations with R' posts. I approve!

[revieloutionne.livejournal.com]

I initially saved this icon those years ago someone made it thinking it would have all kinds of fandom use.

It turns out I was wrong, so I am going to use it here so that the icon slot hasn't been wasted all this time.

(If it is possible for the sentiment to exist without shippy overtones, though, then it certainly applies to you and R.)

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

LOL! That icon brings back memories :D

[lots42.livejournal.com]

You are in your soul pasto?

[revieloutionne.livejournal.com]

"Soul parts," but I'd love to see an attempt at your interpretation.

[aunty_marion]

That is an RFUL pun, Sam!

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

I found it Rmusing. :D

[iamshadow.livejournal.com]

You should be Rshamed of yourself.

[aunty_marion]

He probably thought it was RT.

[revieloutionne.livejournal.com]

There's no reason to pun so Rduously, folks.

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

Green City is big, but has some yummy ready to eat things.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

I saw! Sadly I didn't get to sample any, as I didn't want to stand in line when I could be socializing, but the food looked delightful.

[pocketmouse]

I can't tell you how much I was hoping for you and R again.

[lavinialavender.livejournal.com]

OMG. I strongly support you and R moving back in together.

[iamshadow.livejournal.com]

You and R living together again sounds like it would be really kind of awesome. And I'm not just writing that because I'm following the soap opera of you life; it sounds like you're both in a place where you need a change, and you'd be happy living with a friend again. And, as you said, you know that you get on well, so, going into it you know that you're okay with sharing space.

I'm just wondering what he's been eating for all these years while you've been living apart, considering he always sounded a bit of a scurvy risk even when you were cooking for him on a regular basis.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

He actually took up cooking a bit; I was shocked at the amount of food in his fridge when I was at his place yesterday. I can't say I'd willingly and without reservation eat his cooking, but apparently he's keeping himself nourished :D

[lots42.livejournal.com]

B cause he lives with his Mom, that's why.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

Oh -- no, he doesn't live with her, she just owns the condo.

[tardis-stowaway.livejournal.com]

R may have won at shooting, but you just won at punning.

I support you and R moving in together largely because the "conversations with R" tag in your journal is gold.

[forest-rose.livejournal.com]

Yay, R! I missed him! And I imagine you did too, so you two living together again would be awesome. With bonus puppy!

[elainasaunt.livejournal.com]

OMG I can hear the squeeing all the way over here.

[sgt-majorette.livejournal.com]

Heartily second the "Yay! R!" motion.

[lots42.livejournal.com]

This is why you are a Time Lord.

You have a Companion that is good with children and can shoot the head off a robot demon thingamabob from twenty paces.

[revieloutionne.livejournal.com]

Has a companion ever left the Rdis and come back later, though?

[lots42.livejournal.com]

Yes. There was the one that ran around with K-9.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

LOL THE RDIS

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

LOL YES.
