Farmer's Market

I got more veggies than usual and some special high priced stuff this week. My hubby and son are eating raw more & I want to make some veggie dishes...

This is my trunk with $30 of produce:
$10 of coconuts (10 @ $1 ea.)
$10 of ladyfinger bananas (yellows in back - closer up later)
$10 of large Filipino cookig bananas AKA plantains (closer next)

These are the cooking bananas I got (to eat ripe and raw of course)
It's $10 worth (were in the box in the trunk pic)

This is $8.50 worth of produce:
$2 bag of organic tomatoes - the season's just starting here (fruit fly gets 'em in Summer)
$1 large avocado with crack (would be $2 otherwise)
$1.50 avocado
$1 bunch of curly kale
$3 of star fruit (15 @ 5/$1) - I got 3 times as much last week
- she gave me 1/2 of that for free last week too

This is $9 worth of produce:
$3 of very large Ruby Red grapefruits (4 @ 75cents ea.) - they're almost Pommelo sized!
$2 of tangerines (5/$1 + a few tossed in by farmer)
$4 of tangelos (16 @ 4/$1)

This is $4 worth of produce:
$2 small bunch of small collards
$1 kind-of sad bunch of tat tsai
$1 bunch of immature beets w/tops

This is $57.50 worth of produce - believe it or not:
$16 of mangosteen (2 lbs @ $8/lb - actually a good price & it's the beginning of the season - it's a tad less than $1 ea.)
$20 of longan (5lbs @ $4/lb - excellent batch too)
$20 of rambutan (5lbs @ $4/lb - mediocre batch,
worst in season so far, but still beginning of season)
$1.50 of cucumbers (2 @ 75cents ea. - they were 'stung' by fruit fly, small and sort of sad, but organic & I wanted 'em anyway)
