Farmer's Market

I really like the Hollywood farmer's market. Enough so that one of the few reasons I'd want to get a car is to make going there every sunday easier. For those curious, the other reasons are: to visit Rissa in SF more, and ... I think that's it.

Today's visit was a good one, though I did feel really weird in the middle and had to sit down for a while, this was unrelated to the market. There were a bunch of excellent fruits: we got nectarines and pluots, and F got mango nectarines (they taste sort of like mangos, and definately unlike nectarines) and strawberries. There was also some japanese green leafy thing which the ratties really like eating, and a stunning idea: if I promised to wash all the dishes, I bet L would make the wonderful stew again! So I did so and we got all the various stuff to make stew, which I'm looking forward to. Lunch was pretty good: I got a bratwurst on a stick, which was pretty tasty. The same stand had a ton of different sausage types, and you could also get them cooked into a quesadilla with potatoes and cheese and stuff. Very tempting, but I'll save trying that for later. F had the jambalaya from the Cajun stall, which is what I usually get as I love a good jambalaya. L had fried plantains, and we all had various flavors of lemonade: I had strawberry lemonade, very tart and good, and there was also raspberry lemonade and watermelon lemonade.

We figured out how to get parking validated for the farmer's market as well, so after a few tries the parking situation there seems very manageable as all you have to do is park at the Arclite theater's parking lot, which is just a block or so away.
