I was so excited to drive my electric car that I forgot to take our grocery money — the ones and fives Larry goes into the bank to get each week because farmers appreciate not having to break twenties. Fortunately Larry had cash in his wallet so we could buy the week's vegetables. As a thank you, I let him drive my car home.
Electric car, cloth shopping bags, re-used plastic produce bags, and lots of organic fruits and vegetables. No wonder we live in LA.
Here's what my excellent car carried home for us:
a small watermelon, 7 early girl tomatoes, 4 red potatoes, a cucumber, a head of garlic, a romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, a green pepper, 2 o'henry peaches, 2 dozen eggs, a demi baguette, 6 ears of organic corn, 2 avocados, 1 pomelo, a bag of limes I bought before I found out Jorge had limes so I bought 3 from him too, 12 oranges, 6 Bramley apples and 4 Williams Pride apples.
The Bramleys (English cooking apples my grandmother loved) and William's Pride were the first new apples of the season. That's a reason to celebrate in itself.
Isn't summer great?
