Not pictured: one potted orchid with a host of blossoms and one pejibaye (consumed during the photo op).
Pictured: 3 avocados, 6 tomatoes, 4 canteloupes, 10 granadillas, 3 cucumbers, 8 apples, 4 pejibayes and one large head of lettuce.
Pejibayes, tomatoes, melons, and much more for good eating!
All (except the orchid) purchased for less than $10.00. Mmm. Good.

I just returned from a trip to the grocery store. On the way, I passed one of the many roadside vendors selling freshly picked produce. This vendor’s pick-up truck – loaded to over flowing with vegetables – was too much to resist. I stopped and bought 4 cantaloupe, 2 large avocados, 10 huge tomatoes and 8 mangos for ………. eight dollars! I’ll make guacamole, for sure, but what to do with the tomatoes is up for grabs. Pico de gallo, pasta sauce or gazpacho?
