Tragedy has struck! I went to the farmer's market a little late today, and they were out of peas! OUT! Of PEAS!

I annoy everyone with my use of capslock because.. peas! None! *sniffs*

To make up for it, I bought more fruit than I can possibly eat in a month (yay Flavor King pluots! And Flavor Queen, and these beautiful golden peaches that weren't rosy at all, and plums, and sugar plums!). And heirloom tomatoes (soon to be made into caprese salad) and baby Yukon Golds, soon to be broiled with some of the flavored olive oil my sister got me from Italy and rosemary.

Amazingly, going to the farmer's market is making me cook, because all those fresh vegetables just sit and beckon. Maybe next week I'll get some artichokes... I haven't had artichoke in a long time, and I love them.

But I am still sad about the lack of peas.

Caprese salad is one of the very best things in my world right now. I have fresh tomatoes and fresh basil growing right out the front door, and so all I have to do is stock fresh mozzarella.

I was going to make some peach dessert for this week's dinner guests, but I didn't have the energy, and now I don't know what I'm going to do with all those peaches. Meep.

OHhhh nice!! That's so wonderful!

I just snack on peaches all the time, don't even bother with cooking them. Mmmm.

I'm going out to cut the basil in just a minute.

I snack on peaches uncooked, too, but I bought a lot of peaches! I'm not sure they're going to hold up if I don't do something to them. Well, I'll think of something. Perhaps a sauce for andouille....
