HFTM | Hollywood 29May11

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

Cherries | Strawberries | Red Cabbage | Tarragon | Cilantro | Onions | Celery | Chinese Broccoli

I ran to the market before I headed over to the JazzReggae Festival at UCLA Sunday.  Got there earlier than normal, but felt rushed.  Kinda went on auto-pilot and didn’t have a chance to overthink anything.  Worked out fine, I guess, since I finally picked up some artichokes.

Bought my second pint of cherries this week, too.  And just like earlier in the week, they’re gone already.  That scene from The Witches of Eastwick was on a loop with every pit spit.  (♥: Ewwww.) Sorry, it’s true.

Getting up early next Sunday and taking my time.  Wonder what’ll be calling my name at Pershing?

HFTM | Pershing SQ 25May11

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

Ginger | Cherries | Peaches | Garlic | Onions | Peas | Thai Basil | Chinese Broccoli | Kale

Yeah.  The cherries and peaches are gone already.  Artichoke hummus, too.  It didn’t even make it home for the class picture.

I was just in one of those “Dude. Yes, feed me.” moods.  Plied with samples, I couldn’t resist.  I bought the artichoke hummus and it barely made it to the office fridge.  I tried to keep my Alice Waters-ian breathy enthusiasm to a minimum.  ‘Cause breathy and garlicky are confined space crowd pleasers!  But, man, was it gooood.

This weekend, I’ll be stocking up on Goya chickpeas and finally get my ‘choke on. (♥: Umm, that sounds…) Ohhh.  Right.  If they’re still in beautiful abundance, I’ll be picking up some artichokes at Hollywood on Sunday. (♥: Better.)

It’s gonna be a hummus summer.  I can feel it.
