sereneI was feeling veggie-poor, as a result of days of being in too much pain to deal with much food-wise (shopping, cooking, etc.). Had a decent afternoon yesterday, though, so I went and bought $20 worth of produce. At our store, that's a LOT of produce. I got:
Two big heads of cauliflower (2.7 lbs)
A head of romaine
A big bell pepper (2/3 lb)
A stalk of celery
2 lbs onions
A big bunch of scallions
Half a pound of shiitakes
Two big knobs (almost a pound) of lotus root
1.29 lbs roma tomatoes
4 big navel oranges for 70 cents!
Two heads of garlic
A small (.75 lb) head of cabbage
2 lbs carrots
2 medium oro blancos (kind of like a sweet grapefruit)
2 lbs comice pears
2+ lbs fuji apples
3+ lbs yukon gold potatoes
I came home from the store sore but happy. Made a big stir-fry of a little pork and a ton of veggies. Had an apple and an orange with breakfast. Ate the leftover lotus root just now (I'm the only one who likes it). And I'm about to take a massive tray of roasted cauliflower out of the oven.
I'm RICH, I tell ya!

Once I have my kitchen back, I am going to buy a pile of vegetables and spread them on the table and gaze at them happily.
