I will say that I stopped by a weekday farmer's (street) market when I
went to that South American market on Mission St I mentioned in BA
food (because it was 1/2 a block away and the meter still had money on
it). It was closing time and they were packing up - but I was able to
see most of their wares. *One* stall had absolutely gorgeous yellow
and green zucchini (the other stalls had what you could find anywhere)
that I would have bought except my refrigerator was so stuffed I
wouldn't have been able to shove them in at that moment which means I
have more than enough food to last me to the end of the week. The
good news is, I'm making headway. I'm using the tub of ricotta cheese
tomorrow to make lasagna with the chub chicken Italian sausage, which
I expect to be at least two days worth of meals. After that, I'll
make a mushroom sugo and then I can do some serious shopping again.

Next week, I need to take the bag of fruit puree out of the freezer
that I've had in there since last summer and make some jam. I just
finished the last jar of the other half of that puree (counting what I
gave away).
