Sunday Shopping

For some reason it was extra-crowded at the Hollywood Farmers Market this morning. We arrived 20 minutes before opening as we usually do, and the aisles were already swarming with shoppers.

Of course, summer is a fine time for fresh produce. The stalls were piled high with eggplants, zucchini and stone fruit. It was hard to choose, so I bought a little of everything. We will be eating well this week.

Here's a list of the organic produce we bought this week: 1 mini watermelon, 3 tomatoes, 1 cucumber, basil, 1 zucchini, 6 shiitake mushrooms, 1 sweet white onion, 1 red onion, 2 yellow onions, 2 white nectarines, 1 chechon garlic, 2 burgundy plums, a few donut peaches, 1 muskmelon, a few german butterball potatoes, eggs, 2 green plums, feta, 2 sundowner apples, 6 corn, 2 yellow peaches, celery, 1 portabello for my Fourth of July burger, padron chiles, 2 haas avocados, 3 grapefruit, a colorful selection of cherry tomatoes
