Spines shiver
roll out the quills
what a nice way
to pay the bills

La Cienega Farmer's Market ROCKS.
Just wanted to let all you foodies who are looking for some organic produce along with other tasty treats: The Thursday farmer’s market in the shopping center on La cienega and 18th St. Rocks. Your money is going to disapear very fast- but it will go to a great cause- farmers who buck the trend, refusing to go the way of spraying their wares with chemicals. Though it’s not all organic, most of it is. And the free samples are off the chain.
Within about ten minutes I had indulged in strawberries, blood oranges, and a soft Pita like treat called Bolani. Considered an ‘east and west’ gourmet afghan food, it comes in flavors ranging from Spinach, Pumpkin, and Potato. It’s also Vegan, low fat, low calorie, and low carb for all you supermodels out there looking for the next best edible that’s going to keep you looking great. They had dips for sample and sale including pesto, eggplant, and tons of others. I couldn’t walk away without buying the Spinach Bolani, which you’re supposed to heat up, but naturally I couldn’t wait to get home and ate it straight out of the bag. Check them out here: http://www.bolaniandsauce.com/home.php
The Cherimoya I bought from a lady is one of the best fruits I’ve ever tasted. I’m saving the seeds because I'd like to plant some myself someday. It kind of reminds me of sweet tarts but in a fleshy custard like fruit that’s delicious and very good for your health, not like the aforementioned candy that it reminds me of.
I’m currently eating organic cherries that I bought, 5 bucks for a pound and way better then anything you can find in the supermarkets. It tastes like desert from the gods.
Other nice finds include Kale, broccoli, lettuce, and swiss chard. I’m saving the avocado I got from the Cherimoya lady for a special occasion. Maybe mix it up with some chunky tomatoes for some lovely guacamole which I can use as a dip for the Bolani?
So come support your local merchant- give them your money so they can continue plying us with good homegrown food. And bring all of your friends as well.
