Day 118

Weird vegetable (I assume) I found in a Chinese market in the strip after the free farm to table lunch today. I vaguely worry I'll accidentally poison myself trying random things labeled in Chinese characters.

I didn't get one of these prickly pickles, but I did grab some kind of I think yams. One looked like a skinny yellow sweet potato, the other looked like a big purple one but I could see from broken ones that it had white flesh inside. At the free lunch the presenter talked about eating the rainbow so I wanted to try some different colored things.

I also got some snow peas and sugar snap peas as well as two pears that kind of look like apples. At least I think that's what they are, they were wrapped in tissue paper and stretchy foam netting so really it could be anything under there. They didn't have the real apple shape I'm used to seeing so I may have wasted $0.39/each on just a wrapped up foreign pear. Or maybe I'll unwrap them and it'll be something totally unexpected. If they are those apple pears it was a very good deal because they're usually like $1 each. They're a pretty good size each so if they are just pears $0.78 for more than a pound of fruit is nothing to complain about either. I need to value my food differently but that's a topic for the other blog. :)
