I started off with the best of intentions and self-restraint, but as the morning wore on (and I got hungrier), the basket began to get heavier until finally it overflowed and I was forced to accept a bag or two, as well.

I came home with:

• blueberries (the last of the season)
• peaches
• nectarines
• two kinds of lettuce
• Red Malabar spinach
• red and orange cherry tomatoes
• a yellow tomato
• two green tomatoes (for frying)
• seconds tomatoes (for gazpacho)
• Thai eggplants
• a giant head of cabbage
• beans (they might be something closely related to a cranberry bean, but I can't remember what kind they said they were)
• corn on the cob
• leeks (the first of the season; of course, I forgot to buy brocolli to make soup with)
• squash (five pounds -- including pattypans, bicolors, dark yellows, and star-shaped ones -- it got cheaper the more you bought and I figured I could make five pounds stretch to two, maybe three, weeks)
• blueberry scones
• milk
• a giant double sunflower
