Okay, the annual gov't surplus auction has several barrister bookcases up for sale. Want! But how do I get them home?

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.

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.

The nice thing about the strawberries is that they were both super delish and super cheap. Like, seventy-nine cents a pint.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
The guy never showed up. Apparently the computer wiped out the appointment we were supposed to have.
Now I get to leave work early again tomorrow and do it all again.

Haven't seen strawberries at our FM, but we have gotten some fantastic cherries.
Looks like strawberries and raspberries come into season here in August through October. We didn't get a CSA fruit share, but I love having their calendar to check what should be available locally.
