Pinole Farmers Market Best Food Vendor

Gigi's One Bite Wonder

 

Patty From Toronto

When I get off work early on Saturday at Whole Foods Market in Berkeley I go to the Pinole Farmers Market. About halfway through 2024 I discover two vendors at the market, Gigi’s One Bite Wonder and Patty from Toronto.

Smores Cookie

Cookies N' Cream Doughnut

I love the cookies and doughnuts from Gigi’s One Bite Wonder. I especially love the Smores Cookie and Cookies N’ Cream Doughnut. The Smores Cookie is delicious with a Graham Cracker and Marshmallow in a cookie. I love the Cookies N’ Cream filling inside the doughnut  Those cookies and doughnuts are very delicious. Gigi surely knows how to make a great treat.

Jamaican Beef Patty

Sisig Pountine

Patty from Toronto make some good Jamaican Beef Patty. It is my usual order when I see them at the market. Recently I tried out their Sisig Poutine. It had plenty of Sisig in the Poutine. The Poutine was
made for two people, not one person. It is hard to finish the entire Poutine. 

Whenever you’re at the Pinole Farmers Market on Saturday between 9am and 1pm check out Gigi’s One Bite Wonder and Patty from Toronto. They surely sell out real fast.

 

Canon EOS R100

I got a Canon EOS R100 in November 2024. I got the camera through Sam’s Club website for $499. It was a kit that included the camera bag, 32GB SD Card, and 55-210 lens. It is a great mirrorless camera which is a big update from a DSLR.

In December I got a Canon RF 50mm lens for the camera at Target for $199. It is a nice len which the results were outstanding. 

I have not invested in a Canon Speedlite Flash since I rarely use flash. Luckily the Canon Speedlite 470EX-AI that I use on my Canon EOS Rebel T6i works well on the Canon EOS R100 camera. 

I do want to invest in a camera backpack. The bag that came with my camera is small. I need space to place filters and lenses. I do want to invest in a Canon RF-S 18-150mm lens and Canon RF 28mm lens when I use my camera often. I am still involve with photography but with my work at Whole Foods Market and other personal things it is hard to find time to go out and take pictures.

I only use the camera at Farmers Market. I truly want to use the camera when I attend music performances and events in the Bay Area. I need to learn how to keep the camera maintenance making sure there is no dust when I am taking pictures. I have seen spots inside the camera body.

I still have the Nikon D5200, Nikon D5300, and Canon EOS Rebel T6i with accessories which I am not going to get rid of. It is not worth selling my camera since it would probably be very low. I truly spend a lot of money on the camera.

Lets see where the Canon EOS R100 will take me in 2025
