Post-Thanksgiving Shopping

I was not inspired when thinking about food this morning. We still have Thanksgiving leftovers, but we'll be needing new food by mid-week, and I could not think of a single thing I wanted to cook or eat.

Fortunately we went to the Hollywood Farmers Market anyway — Larry needed his St. Benoit yogurt fix — and the piles of vegetables at Flora Bella and Finley Farm stands were so beautiful that I found it hard to restrain myself from buying one of everything.

Okay, to be honest, I did a lousy job of practicing restraint.

We will be eating a lot of greens this week.

And because we have to finish the Thanksgiving sour cream, I bought a small spaghetti squash that I will make a decadent casserole with.

This is what we will be eating this week:

Rapini, arugula, cabbage, mustard greens, baby turnips with greens, broccoli, 1/2 lb cremini mushrooms, 6 red potatoes, 2 dozen eggs, 6 grapefruit, 2 cameo apples, lightly-salted pistachios in their shells, collard greens, 1 small spaghetti squash, 1 red onion, 2 small white sweet potatoes, 2 bartlett pears, 5 cups of St. Benoit plain yogurt, red butter lettuce, orange blossom honey and 8 oranges. Also, while we were shopping, Russ sharpened two of our garden shears.
