When I was a kid my mom used to always tell me that my eyes were bigger than my stomach. Nothing has changed really. This is what I bought last Wednesday at the Santa Monica Farmers Market. When I unpacked and realized that there was enough vegetable matter to fill a walk-in refrigerator I thought that maybe if I took pictures of everything they would have a greater chance of actually being eaten. So here it is, along with what I’ve used so far and where it went.
- Spring Onions: Minestrone, Stuffed Cabbage, Sandwiches, Salads
- Green Onions: Salads, Thai Coconut Soup, Raw with Sandwich
- Strawberries: with Sour Cream for Dessert, Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie
- Broccolini: Blanched and kept in fridge for snacking
- Savoy Cabbage: Corned Beef and Cabbage, Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
- Green Tomato: Waited too long and it turned red, grated it into Minestrone
- Rhubarb: Strawberry+Rhubarb Pie
- Mandarinquats: Ate
- Page Mandarins: Ate
- Butternut Squash: Roasted and served cut in half w/Butter and Parmesan (it was small)
