Sunday Shopping

We returned to the Hollywood Farmers Market this morning after a week away, and I could tell the seasons were changing.

At Jorge's stall I snagged the last pomelos and first pomegranates of the season. (He said he had pomegranates last week, but I was not there to appreciate them.)

Greens had all disappeared, probably because of the ridiculous heat last week. Pumpkins, winter squash, peppers and melons beckoned from every stall. Ha's apple farm continues to bring new varieties to the market as they ripen. We were freshly back from the East Coast so we reveled in the cool air and fall produce, but the farmers were still remembering last Sunday's market when the sun was blazing down on them by 8:30 a.m.

This is the organic produce we brought home with us:
5 beefsteak tomatoes, heirloom cherry tomatoes, red and green grapes, 1 portabello mushroom, 3/4 lb cremini mushrooms, 1 asian pear, 2 bartlett pears, 3 summerville apples, 3 gala apples, 4 peaches, 5 black kat plums, 3 small zucchini, 4 ears of corn, 1 red cabbage, 1 red sails lettuce, 1 red butter lettuce, 2 pomegranates, 4 yukon gold potatoes, 4 small plain yogurt from St. Benoit, 1 red onion, 3 pomelos, 1 cantaloupe, 1 charlynn melon.
