Farmer's Market today. Alexias stayed home as she was up on her feet from 9:30 am to 6:30 pm yesterday, had ankle exhaustion and was working on a cold, so Serena went to fly the Panayi flag.
I wandered along at around 12:30 to go have lunch. I found out the name of the guy I have been talking to at the burger stand for the whole summer. It is Nick. Why now, you may ask? Well, there are only two weeks left of the market, and it seemed the polite thing to do. Besides, I didn't need to know his name. I knew where he'd be every week.
First thing I saw after ordering my burger was these:
Twelve fresh artichokes, each on as big as a fist if you have small fists, for just $5. I could throw away eleven of them, and they would still be cheaper than I can buy them in Hong Kong.
I boiled six of them that night, and Serena and I shared them, dipping the leaves in a simple lemon vinegarette. On Serena's request, I bought a big head of broccoli too, so we ate some with the artichokes.

Watched Machete in the evening, a Roberto Rodriguez film starring Danny Trejo, Jessica Alba, Robert DeNiro, Michelle Williams, Don Johnson (yes, that Don Johnson) and a bunch of other people. I was going to let the girls watch, but after the first seven minutes was glad I didn't.
