from the sketchbook

from the sketchbook

a few new ones:
have had these fnisihed...just haven't had time to post them.....enjoyed a weekend
visit from my sister adn her family last weekend...they;re in bakersfield ca now so we
dont get a chance to visit very often....and have been busy getting my 18 yr old,
molly. ready to go away to college. as this was a fairly last minute switch to another school
we;re doign this last minute as usual!!
i do have several more started....just havent had time to finish them.....
i did have a little artistic inpsiration via a trip to whole food last night....
am i the only one who buys produce because it looks or sounds appealing or interesting????
i easily could have bought every single eggplant in the place ...the variety of shapes adn colors
and pattern were very seductive...(i refrained) ...then there was the dragon fruit that was
particulalry visually appealing.....and the monster fruit that was so bizarre it was wonderful!
sort of a cross between a cucumber adn a baseball bat with a *tiled* surface..very interesting
what i did end up buying was a pluot. not particulalry visually attractive but with a name like
that i just had to try it.....and soem black plums because they were packaged in a very cool
purple mesh bag...
havnet tried teh pluot yet. will save that for tomrrow...
anyone out there ever heard of it???
(obvisluy i;m eaily amused soemtimes.....)
off to bed......

Hmmm... Pluots are wonderful (if you like plums). Pluots are crosses between plums and apricots.

And, yes, I have been known to buy produce because of it's look. Unfortunately, it then sits in the kitchen until it turns to brown mush...

Whole Foods - my favorite! I'm as easily amused but we don't get pluots in NJ. I'm still looking for tomatillos, which they are out of. I'll catch up with you.
