Sunday Shopping

It's been too hot to eat. I come home in the evenings and sit out in the garden instead of cooking dinner. I'd rather watch the antics of the birds and the squirrels than think about food.

So we took a short list to the Hollywood Farmers Market this morning.

We also agreed we'd make one more batch of salsa today so we came home with 10 pounds of roma tomatoes from Tutti Frutti farms in addition to our week's organic produce.

Here's what we brought home: 1 kabocha squash, 6 ears of corn, 3 maui onions, 1 red onion, 1 dozen eggs, 1 persian cucumber, bunches of cilantro and parsley, 2 mutsu apples and 3 other excellent apples whose name I've forgotten, 3 mountain-grown peaches (the last of the year), 1 cantaloupe, 1 bunch red amaranth which I'll cook like spinach - a first for us, 16 oranges, 3 limes, 3 red peppers and 4 poblanos - time to start stocking the freezer with roasted peppers, 2 anaheim peppers, 4 habaneros, 3 jalapeños and 7 serrano peppers.
