Sunday Shopping

It was cool and overcast at the Hollywood Farmers Market this morning - good weather for hauling a lot of heavy vegetables home. I bought a beautiful green cabbage from Finley Farms which probably weighs 5 pounds. Fortunately it will last well in the fridge as we munch our way through it over the next couple of weeks. Also, we needed the black beans without which Larry's Memorial Day barbecue is not complete. (See his favorite bean recipe here.) They come in 2-pound bags, and there's a discount if you buy two bags of beans, so I bought a 2-pound bag of white beans as well. You can never have too many beans.

Here's what we brought home with us:
2 heads garlic, 6 shallots, 7 potatoes (some for brunch and some for potato salad), a bag of spinach, 7 pink lady apples, 1 portabello mushroom (my burger choice for the barbecue), 8 oz cremini mushrooms, 2 bunches of asparagus which I made into a frittata for brunch, 2 lbs white lima beans, 2 lbs black beans, 1 yellow zucchini, 1 green zucchini, a 3-pack of strawberries, 2 dozen eggs, a bunch of red onions, broccoli, a small cauliflower, 3 small plain St. Benoit yogurts, 18 oranges for juice with brunch, basil, parsley, green cabbage, kale, 1 pomelo, red butter lettuce, 4 plums.

Also, Russ sharpened a knife for us while we shopped. And I bought a beautiful buddleia for the garden.
