Market Report: Basque peppers, bean varieties galore, and more from the the Santa Monica Farmers Market

This is the time of year when everything seems to be in season at the Santa Monica farmers market. You'd half to eat a dozen meals a day for a week to sample everything. So the process of picking and choosing tends to get downright arbitrary (except for a few specific things I buy for recipes I'm going to try out.) Noticing the array of varieties of beans on hand today, I go on a bit of a bean kick. And spying okra, I grab some of that, as well, in homage to my favorite city (and home town for a while, years ago): beleaguered New Orleans.

Go here to see what else I found today, and what I intend to do with it.
