Excess

I love living in California for a lot of reasons. The weather, the proximity to home, the local events. Mostly, though, I love the produce. Maybe a little too much.

Right now I have a ridiculous amount of fruits and veggies in my apartment. Wanna know why? First, one of my favorite things to do on Saturday mornings is head to the Santa Monica farmer's market. The produce is all locally grown, usually picked the day before, fresh, ripe, and tasty. Second, my patients brought in a bunch of ripe stuff that they grew at home. That's organic, right? Third, one of my favorite grocery stores from home, Sprouts, just opened a location in Culver City and I went to check it out today for the first time

Here's what I have right now.

3 Oranges
1 Apple
1 Watermelon
2 Cantaloupe
2 lbs cherries
4 kiwi
5 peaches
3 lbs apricots
10 lemons
3 limes
1 bag spinach
3 onions
2 green peppers
1 red pepper
5 tomatoes
6 bananas
4 cartons of blueberries
1 nectarine
4 zucchini
1 avocado

What in the world am I going to do with all of this?
