We got adventurous and tried a cactus quesadilla. It wasn't bad...the cactus strips tasted like slimy green beans. Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of it, but it looked something like this:
I spent less than $10 and got peaches, peppers, radishes, cucumbers, & zucchini....enough veggies to last us a couple weeks!
Thankfully, this was a couple days before the tragic camera incident, so I have some photos to share:
Prickly pears (Jungle Book anyone?)
Bitter Melon. The lady at the booth said people cut it into strips and put it on salads.
I miss the family's garden mucho.
Crazy and yummy flavors of juices! (plus horchata)
Peaches galore
and some lovely orchids
I wish I had a photo to share as well of the pretty autumn bouquet Eric's mom bought me...but our camera broke before I got one of it arranged in a vase. It included sunflowers and dahlias in yellows and reds.
It finally cooled down this week (in the mid 60's) which was a welcome surprise. I'm craving pumpkin everything and hope to pick some up in the next week or two :-)
First thing on the menu: homemade pumpkin spice lattes. Take that, Starbucks!
wow, cactus quesadilla! that's super adventurous. slimy green beans? You didn't sell me on cactus :)
