Farmer's market

CSA this week brings us a yellow watermelon, 1/2 lb of baby onions in
red and yellow, a head of garlic, sweet peppers, parsley, a pound each
of baby carrots and tomatoes and a jalapeño so hot that they recommend
you chop it wearing gloves (holy shit!). I'll be hard pressed to find
use for this jalapeño but it's in my CSA so I paid for it so I'll take
it.

Wandering around the market I found a South African turned Virginian
wine maker. He offered a wine tasting and I'm not one to turn down a
wine tasting regardless of it being 9 am. I bought two of his
whites...there's probably something funny in buying whites from South
Africa.

I have like, 5 heads of garlic from past weeks at the CSA and from the
grocery so I think it's time to start the garlic roasting and go clean
my room for my shoot today.

I have to ask, what's CSA?

It's "community supported agriculture" basically you pay at the beginning of the season for a subscription to a farm and they give you vegetables once a week.
