I meant not to buy too much, to spare my recently recovered sore back (which was re-tenderized in a different way last Friday, when I slipped while walking in Spring Park and landed on my back along the edge of a landscape timber... ), but I failed. It's the height of summer-y produce and I lost control:

Peaches, pluots, cherries, blueberries, arugula, red tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, cherry tomatoes in several colors, a tiny cantaloupe, basil, scallions, goat feta cheese crumbles (for salad), plain cheese curds, and macaroons (because they are wheat-free).

chomiji: Miyazaki's Totoro, standing in the rain with an umbrella (Totoro - umbrella)

I had on the right jacket for the weather but the weather report didn't say anything about the effin' rain.

So I didn't buy much because of wanting to get home and dry:

Eggs
Kalettes
A small winter squash (kubota type)
Chocolate-drizzled macaroons (for a wheat-free sweet for me)
Chicken thighs

I still have lots of apples at home, so I didn't need to buy any.

Peaches
Jonamac apples
Green beans
Raspberries
Blackberries
Red and yellow cherry tomatoes (that is, two different types)
Different types of heirloom tomatoes
Sweet onions
Mixed-milk morbier cheese (with ash)

One of the tomatoes had split by the time I got them home, so I ate it for lunch with some shredded string cheese and basil left from last week.

I should have bought more basil because this batch is kaput.

  • Lots of sweet potatoes - because that's one of the things my sister asked me to bring for Thanksgiving
  • Half a dozen apples, Goldrush and Stayman, to cook with the sweet potatoes
  • 4 chicken legs from Cabin Creek pasture-raised chickens (we still have plenty of other meat)
  • Kalettes (link goes to Wikipedia)
  • A small head of green cabbage
  • 3 Bartlett pears
  • 4 parsnips (for soup-making at some point in the near future)
  • Flat-leaf (Italian-type) parsley

This is the last weekend for a number of the fruit/vegetable stands. They will be back in the mid-spring.

1½ lbs apples (to make a little applesauce)
1 pint cider (ditto, although the Mr. might also drink some)
chicken thighs
bratwursts
red and yellow cherry tomatoes
green beans
broccoli
cauliflower
2 heads garlic
Bartlett pears
½ lb. farmhouse cheddar cheese

I also pulled a package of CSA lamb stew meat out of the freezer when I got home: not to make stew, but kebabs instead. It's still too hot to make stew. Ditto winter squash, although one of the booths had some lovely Red Kuri.

So grocery store run should only be non-food items, skim milk, Siggi's yogurts for me, some breakfast cereals, long pasta (spag, linguine), Flackers flax seed crackers, and parmesan cheese. Maybe a few oranges too.

ETA: And berries! how can I forget those? They're in the icon ... .
