HFTM | Back In The Hood Again 21Jan11

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

Tangelos | Onions | Navel Oranges | Brussels Sprouts | Asparagus | Tomatoes

It’s been ages since I’ve been able to get my farmers market on around the corner from the apt.  I saw familiar faces and noticed how tiny it is compared to Hollywood.  I forgot how much I missed the ease of it, too.   I loved being able to shoot within minutes of my last purchase.  Of course, I tore into the oranges before the first click.  It’s so last year in a very good way.

I’m thinking there might be a citrus cardamom marmalade in the making this weekend.  Okay, it really is like old times.  Hopefully, this time I’ll be taking notes.

HFTM | Hollywood 9Jan11

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.
