Fortunately, we see our share of characters and grit as we stroll through the Hollywood Farmers Market. This morning set a record for self-talking, crazy-looking rough sleepers shambling among the stalls.
The stone fruit and melons were fragrant, the greens vibrant, and Tutti Frutti had the first organic corn on the cob of the season.
We came home weighted down with awesome food. Here's what we bought:
5 pink lady apples, 3 grapefruit, 3 clementines, parsley, 2 onions, 3 ears of corn, 10 small red potatoes, 2 bunches spring onions, cherry tomatoes, red sails lettuce, red butter lettuce, ginger root, 5 early girl tomatoes, 1 bunch asparagus, arugula, 3 small haas avocados, 4 purple plums, 1 green plum (emerald something), 4 nectarines, 1 peach, 1 dozen eggs, 1 white melon (I forget the variety), 1 muskmelon, strawberries, 4 blenheim apricots, 2 gi-normous artichokes, 2 lbs mixed mushrooms (cremini, wood ear and shiitake), 1 quart plain St. Benoit yogurt, 25 oranges (yes this made a gallon of o.j. and we still have some left over, but 5 for $1! I couldn't resist.)
