Market.Watch | 29Jan10

my sunday mornings are begging to be for sleep, not for shopping.

those lemons really are that orange

I thought that it would be too much to go to both my local Farmers’ Market on Fridays and the Hollywood one on Sundays.  I thought there wouldn’t be enough space to put everything.  I thought that there would be too much and I would start wasting food by going to two Farmers’ Markets so close together.

Now, I’m kinda thinking I thought wrong.  I haven’t been bringing home as much on Fridays as I did before the holidays.  I guess it really is about what’s in season, what’s available and what looks good, even in LA.  Thankfully, I’m still getting my citrus fix.

You know the blood oranges are gone, right?

So, you would think since I’m not pulling in as much, that I would be excited to head to Hollywood to see all the amazingness there is on offer.  Well, there’s a bit of a problem with getting out and getting more.  I went to sleep at 4 this morning.  I might have gotten up around 11ish, I don’t know.  Hollywood, let’s try this again next week.

So, in this week’s Market.Watch, I’ve got Blood Oranges, Onions, Meyer Lemons, Swiss Chard and Flowers.

The flowers help keep me happy.  Pretty, pretty flowers.

I just remembered that it’s about time to taste/attack my preserved lemons.  For dinner, I’m seeing tilapia with onions, tomatoes and those lemons.  Maybe a bit of steamed chard and some couscous. Hmmmm, it’s still hazy.  Not sure yet, but can’t wait to figure it out.
