just a few things that made it home from the market… just not today…

Today’s trip to the Hollywood Farmers Market was called for rain.  Well, kinda.

I wasn’t really planning on going this morning.  I left the option out there, but, really, I’ve got plenty and don’t need to shop for another few days.  That and and it was raining.  Heavy.  Okay, heavy enough.

Since I’m into process and practice, here’s a bit of what I did with what I brought home the most this month.  I love some citrus.  Made the spiced citrus pomegranate marmalade I tweeted about trying to figure out.

meyer lemons| tangelos| tangelo peel| navel oranges| ginger| cardamom| pomegranate molasses

Recipe? Ha! Ha! Ha!  You do know me, right?  Let’s just say I’m in “perfecting” mode.  I’ll get back to you with the real when that happens.

I do need a name for this creation.  This joyful melange of flavors that has me giggling at the thought of breakfast tomorrow.  Mmmmm, help.

Here’s a quick look at what made it home this month…

just a few things that made it home from the market…

Navel Oranges | Meyer Lemons | Onions | Golden Beets | Herbs: Cilantro, Dill, Mint

I’ve been a bit under the weather, but I woke up this morning feeling like there was a break in the storm.  I wasn’t going to cry if I coughed today.

Every week, I set my intention to make it to the market.  I’ve been doing well with that.  I need to start intending to get there earlier, though.  With 40 minutes left to shop, it was still packed.  Great people watching.  All the strollers reminded me of trying to navigate the sidewalks of the Upper West Side.

I knew I’d have a coughing fit in the middle of the market if I stayed too long, so I kept the list short and manageable: Onions and a big ‘ole bag of ORANGES.  Whatever else made it into the bag, made it into the bag.

I’m off to bed early with citrus oil thick in the air and some ginger/mint tea warming my belly.
