Loki is passed out with his tongue stuck out. I'm gonna go poke it.

Two Easy Summer Foods:

1. Asparagus tossed with olive oil, sea salt, Meyer Lemon juice (thank you java) under the broiler for eight minutes. Top with melted butter and shaved parmesan. Total cooking time...12 minutes?

2. Strawberries over vanilla ice cream. When I do it I chop up a bowl of strawberries until they are in fine bits with some juice leaking. Them I smush them just a little bit with a fork - not fully macerated but in chunks with a good bit of strawberry juice. Sprinkle lightly with sugar and mix through. I also smush the ice cream, chopping it up, then using the back of the spoon then stirring it until it has a consistency just slightly thicker than soft serve. Sweet strawberry bits with juice over softened Haagen Dazs is just so gooooood.

Oooh, strawberries would be awesome with the new HD5 lemon flavor, which has become my one true ice cream, just narrowly beating HD5 mint.

No more strawberries at the farmer's market! cries We get 'em early, but apparently the season here ends late June. And after those, I think I'm spoiled against store ones. At least small tomatoes come into season right then. Apricots work too. Blueberries, nsm (in salads.)

Sara, I swore off strawberries that weren't local and in season a few years ago. They always look tempting, but they taste like the ghost of strawberries. I think I may have strawberried myself out this year, I didn't even know that was possible.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The strawberries in Turkey, like all of the produce, was unbelievably delicious. I realized at some point that I was passing up fruit that didn't look perfect, but of course that's exactly why it tasted so good! Locally grown, not for transportability.

I don't even have high def TV! I just wasn't in a position to make the accent on Häagen Dazs five.

This is my first year with the market. I haven't even been to the safeway in a few months. Buying everything FM or at Trader Joe's, and for TJs it is pretty much soymilk, tortillas, meat, hummus, cheese, the occasional limes and indian microwave dinners. And crack crackers. For the most part, FM is where I get my greens and produce.
