Home From The Market | Hollywood 11Sept11

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

Kalex2 | Spinach | Yams | Thomcord Grapes | Bay Leaves | Tomatoes | Onions | Cucumbers | Fennel | Ginger    Garlic | Lettuce | Broccoli

With only half the haul on view, this looks like one of the rare over-budget Sundays.  I, usually, only go to the market with a twenty, straight from the atm.  Some days, I carry more.  The problem with that is that I, uh, spend more.  There are days when I spend much less, but that’s at 7th + Fig.

I’ve got big eyes and a small fridge.  Having a budget and specific weekly needs keeps me from buying every pretty and interesting thing I see.  So along with the kale, tomatoes, onions and cucumbers, I get to experiment with a new or daunting vegetable or try a new herb without feeling like I’ve wasted money.  And, thankfully, because I don’t buy as much, there’s less opportunity for full-fridge neglect.  And when it does happen… *pursedlipsshrug*
