From the Farmer’s Market

I get there by 7 am, a hassle unto itself, but the food is worth it.

  • Few pounds cherries
  • Four apples
  • 3 each peaches, nectarines, plums, nectarines
  • Dino kale
  • salad greens
  • carrots
  • English peas
  • Sugar peas (mistake, but they’ll get eaten)
  • green beans (I hate these cooked.  Actually I dislike most cooked veggies, except mushrooms and kale/collards/mustard/etc.)
  • very vanilla pancake mix (yummy white flour-I mix with whole grain pancake mix 50:50)
  • strawberries
  • cucumbers

This all costs about $40.

Leftover still from last week:

  • celery
  • radishes
  • grapefruit (I’ll eat one a day when I remember)
  • bell peppers
  • dates
  • smoked hot pepper cheddar cheese
  • whole wheat pitas to make pizza

I wanted a croissant, but the lines were too long, as they have been for the last few weeks.  I used to eat one every week, now it’s a few a year.  Problem is I have to be at gym by 9, and I need more coffee and breakfast first.  When I have time or patience to stand in line for 10 minutes for it, I’ll get my croissant.  Until then, just drooling for it.   Surprisingly, I manage to eat most of this food over the course of a week (or two, thanks to my miracle tupperwares, called Lock-n-lock).   And of course, I always reuse my plastic shopping bags until they’re nasty and go to the doggy poop bag pile.

I think my bad mood this last week was a result of pms, being too sore for exercise, and lack of Vit. D.  It’s been really gray here lately, but today is sunny, and in the wind-free backyard, warm enough for short sleeves.  I’m still not happy, but managed to clean my apt for an hour or two, now resting for an hour before I go out and force myself to be amongst people, even if I don’t talk to them.    I’ll act as if…

Happy weekend, everyone
