Juiced | Morning Greens

quenching the good thirst…

I’m about to juice the last of my kale.  You really don’t want to see me tomorrow morning.  It won’t be cute.  You start your day with black gold?  I start mine green.

Home From The Market | Instagram Edition

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

Things have been very post-free around here for a while. (♥:Sorry.)

I’ve been to the market.  I’ve been shooting.  And I’ve not been in the mood to edit the images.  Like everyone else, I’ve been a bit of a fool for Instagram.  So, in addition to the regular dig market archive, I’ve been taking a few shots with the iphone for a bit of instant gratification and to see if/how the filters change or add to what I already see.

Thought it might be fun to put a few of them up while I get to editing a month’s worth of fruits and veggies for upcoming posts.

Making A Home | Resisting Roses

living/nesting.in the moment.

I don’t even like roses, but I couldn’t resist this late market $2 bunch.  I shouldn’t blame the roses.  Unimaginative gifting and mass market romance scream, “You so don’t know me.”  Even through pursed-lipped disdain, I’m reminded how much flowers make me want to smile and how inspired I am by their vibrant display of color.

Home From The Market | 7th & Fig 28July11

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

Beets | Carrots | Tomatoes | Ginger | Onions | Curly Kale

New Market: 7th & Figueroa, Downtown LA | Best of Downtown 2010 Runner-Up (♥:Um, okay.)

First Impression: Uninspiring.

Where’s the veg adventure?  Where’s the fruit surprise?  Where’s the wonder?  Eh, not there.

At this lunchtime market, hot food is king.  The produce at 7th & Fig is conventional grocery selection with a kinda pretty farmers market dress on.  Full of staples, low on variety.

Put on by the same group that does the market at Pershing Sq; I’ll just assume they are playing to their audience.  Crowd seemed to be more impulse, less intent.  I didn’t notice anyone leaving with full bags.

Forecast: We’ll see.  Not hopeful.

Cucumber | Garlic | Ginger | Tomatoes | Onions | Oranges | Eggplant | Basil

I can’t keep letting these pretty little eggplants go to waste.  I’m going to have to figure something out.
