Twice a week I go to the market in town, where growers come with fresh produce from neighboring municipalities and sometimes the Pacific coast. Usually I get broccoli, mango, bananas, tomatoes, and onions. The produce is really cheap and really fresh, although most vegetables have a life expectancy of 3 days (they don’t have the genetically modified preservatives of foods imported to the US), and—yes—sometimes there are bugs crawling in the broccoli (an occupational hazard).
The sweet onions that they grow here are a staple of my diet (whole wheat pasta with broccoli, sautéed onions and parmesan cheese). This week the onions, which are slightly smaller than my fist, were especially beautiful and especially cheap.
So when are you coming over for dinner?
