| I think I'm getting better at this. I just got back from the market, where I picked up the following:
Fava beans (but, alas, no chianti)
Green beans (to eat and share w/ the cat)
Potato
Blackberries (let the berry binge begin again!)
Cantaloupe
Patty pan squash
Grapefruit
I've still got carrots, an onion, garlic, a cabbage, oranges, and peaches left from last week. I think I'll make some soup with that stuff. I asked the farmer how he eats the fava beans and he told me he eats them raw. Well, I like that! I am FOR eating as much as possible raw, simply because that means I can be lazy and don't have to cook it. I've also eaten fava beans in a pesto before and they taste great that way - but I didn't buy any basil this week.
Then there's the quinoa, which I've been eating non-stop at about the rate of 1.5 cups cooked quinoa per day. I love that it keeps you full for so long, but not in an uncomfortable way. I'm going to run out very soon. It's either time to buy some more or start varying up my diet a little bit. Maybe some oatmeal instead of quinoa? And I've got some delicious heirloom beans to eat too.
