Today we left the apartment early (10am) to check out the Mountain View farmer's market. We weren't planning on walking away with the entire market, which is what happened after I entered a raffle and was called 2 hours later (back in Cupertino, at this point) by the market manager. It was kind of funny because after she called with the news, without a thought, I launched into one of those mini-speeches you always hear on the radio when people call in and win something, which always start with "oh my god I've never won anything before in my life...."
Sheena took this picture of me outside her car, posing with said cornucopia of local produce.
The winnings are funny because:
1) we haven't cooked once since moving into our new apartment three weeks ago.
2) how can anyone who doesn't run a kitchen make use of this volume of fruit and vegetables before they go bad?
3) we didn't recognize a number of the items we won, for example, the interesting specimen pictured here. If anyone can tell us what it is, you'll win something great in a cool wicker basket.
Anyone want some habaneros? How about a few ears of corn?
Ok, time to go check out the pool and get going on some nectarines.

wow. that is quite the fruit basket.
Hey E- Long time no chat. I've basically been waiting for you to win a large amount of unidentified fruit and vegetables so as to have something to talk about. The pictured fruit is undoubtedly a hungarian, heterozygous, farm raised, kumquat, likely from the southern coastal region of Tenerife, Canary Islands, Espana. Anyways, let's talk soon.
