We're planning to have friends over for dinner next Saturday, so we bought the groceries today at the Hollywood Farmers Market. An advantage of buying fresh food directly from the farmers is that it will all still be beautifully crisp in a week. In fact, the peaches will take a couple of days to get perfectly ripe, and the organic corn will still taste sweet and delicious - some modern breeding miracle I'm sure.
Here's what we brought home:
6 grapefruit, 2 butter lettuce, 3 tomatoes, 4 plums, 4 apples, 4 peaches, cilantro, 1 bunch of beets, 4 small plain yogurt, dill, 16 oranges, cantaloupe, 4 pickling cucumbers, 6 ears of corn, 2 onions, and 1 heavy pomelo crusted in dirt that was so ripe that it fell to the ground in the orchard and Jorge - knowing my appreciation of pomelos - saved it for me.
