vegetables!

i've gotta eat dinner, dress up to go out with ch tonight. but first i gotta rave about my new find- i love the DEVON MARKET! it's closer to my house than the dominiks, and it's so cheap and funky and ethnic and crammed and they have more produce than you can shake a stick at! i was searching for recipies to use up some of my odder grains, and i bought carrots and zuchini and cauliflower.... but also parsnips and turnips and parsley root! wow! and all other staples- spreadable cheese and cans of beans and tomatoes and so forth. no organic, and that makes me really sad. but that's ok. there's other places for that. the ethnicities are mexican and eastern european and middle eastern- wOOt! they have homade tortillas from the tortillaria on the south side, and the PITAS! i've missed the whole wheat pitas made here in chicago, sold in the great big bags of like a dozen or something. $1.49. oh yes. i'm in love! my basket was stuffed full- coiuldnt fit another thing in. at jewel when this happns, it's like $40-50. i spent $25. isn't that amazing? was thinking about joining the kingshill farm csa, but i think may put it off till after school, so i have more time to concentrate on cooking, since the veggies will be a mystery. but i have devon market now. it's like andy's fruit ranch. better than edgewater produce. i'm in love.
