Sunday Shopping

The seasons have changed in the weeks since I last wrote. The greens and radishes of spring and early summer have gone and we're now into the season of stone fruit, melons and corn. At the Hollywood Farmers Market this morning, tomatoes, peppers and eggplants glowed in the slanting August light.

This is the organic food we came home with:
1 cantaloupe, 4 small plain yogurts, cilantro, carrots, 2 shallots, 3 slender leeks, 1 yellow onion, 1 red onion, 1 cucumber, 1 very small butternut squash, 1 lb san marzano tomatoes, 2 early girl tomatoes, 3 limes, a small bag of mixed greens, heirloom cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, 9 oranges, 3 mountain-grown peaches, 1 bunch of beets with their greens, tuscan kale, 1 dozen eggs, 2 yellow zucchini, 2 avocados, 4 gala apples, 4 zestar apples, and 3 tsunga apples, 1 red pepper, 1 yellow pepper, green beans, 6 ears of corn.

And we rounded it out with a watermelon!

Isn't summer great!
