Saturday: downed trees and paper bags of fruit

Saturday Shopping List

1 pint sweet cherries
1 pint blueberries
1 pint apricots
2 quarts green peas
2 quarts green beans (and yellow green beans)
1 pint shiitake mushrooms
1 portobello cap
2 giant orange carrots
1 bunch small multi-colored carrots with greens
1 bunch kale
2 heads buttercrunch lettuce
2 bunches broccoli
5 tomatoes
2 big white potatoes
3 red potatoes
and one 16-oz. iced coffee

Roasted some squash, green beans, and shiitakes with salt, pepper, and fennel seeds. It was very strong and savory. Kind of chewy.

I have a raw vegetable and fruit snack buffet on my refrigerator door right now. Been snacking all day on cherries, blueberries, apricots, green peas, green beans.


I found the park severely wind damaged this morning.

  1. We went to our lil' farmers market in Lewisburg. I love going there. Good, sweet little squash, large homegrown onions and some kind greens (not sure what they are). Which -- do you know if there are any greens you MUST cook? I like to include them in smoothies. This tastes great raw.

  2. I don't know of any greens that you have to cook, which doesn't mean there aren't any. Did you ask anyone at the market? They can sometimes tell you not just what something is but how to cook it and what it goes with. If they're getting a lot of people asking, they'll kind of be ready with an answer, is how our sellers are. I haven't made a green smoothie in a while. I'm not sure where my little blender is, but I'm sure it's in a cupboard or something.
