los angeles isn’t so bad #2

trying to keep a weekly praise for los angeles on here.

#2 reason why los angeles isn’t so bad.

farmer’s markets. (and NOT the one by the grove) correct me if i’m wrong, but isn’t southern california the only place in the united states with a year-round farmer’s market? i know there wasn’t one in texas, but i haven’t lived everywhere. not only that but there is at least one a few miles from my house every day of the week.

carrots, potatoes, brussel sprouts and broccoli are all in season right now

i know people say brussel sprouts are gross but that is untrue. if you cut them in half and coat them in olive oil, salt and pepper, then throw them in the oven on broil for 10 minutes or so depending on how crispy you like them - they are virtually like french fries. but better for you. (i also add more salt at the end to make them a little bad for me)

oh and if you do one of those online carbon footprint tests, you score way higher if you buy all local produce. especially if it’s organic.

sorry if this blog was boring for those who don’t care about vegetables.

    I was JUST talking about how sweet the farmer’s markets in LA are and how next winter I have good mind to head back there and hit it up again wit’ you.

    Also, I just joined a CSA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community-supported_agriculture) which is…AWESOME! So many new veggies I’ve discovered. You ever have Kohlrabi? Slice it thin and it’s like chips!

    I love how hippies always try to tempt people into thinking their food is exciting by relating it back to some shit that is awful for you but tastes good.

    Yay veggies!
