Not sure what that is in metric, but it seems like a bargain. Let’s do the maths… 2.2lbs in a kilo so… $2.49 x 2.2= $5.48/kilo and today that’s £3.67 in pounds sterling for a kilogram of walnuts and hazelnuts. Is that a good deal?

I’ve not had a comment on this photoblog for weeks so I’m trying to invite interaction…

There’s a fine tradition of Mexican wrestlers starring in B-Movies with titles like El Santo Vs. The Mummies of Guanajuato. Here’s a picture I took on Sunday evening. Dr.Sita had bought some sprouts on the stalk and I thought they looked very cool. Turns out they don’t, but anyway I noticed our Blue Demon money box containing Atticus’s college fund peering over, so then I got carried away adding our anthropomorphic cheese grater and titling it “Blue Demon and the Smiling Cheese Grater vs. The Brussel Sprouts of Death”.

Hope you like it. It may be the only post this week as I’m working at least 3 jobs…

Okay, I admit it, I forwent my vegetarianism for a week…

There’s limes too, f’rinstance. Citric goodness provided by Daniel & Monica’s back garden.

This unholy vegetable was sitting in the overpriced organic market in Alameda.

Pitayas (cactus fruit things) won’t be in season for a good few months yet, but it’s so grey and wet outside at the moment in Oakland, California that I needed a bit of colour.

Destroy your teeth and get stung at the same time with these delicious toffee apples on display at the Mercado de los Muertos in Parque Morelos, Guadalajara, Mexico.

Watermelon, ????, mango, watermelon. I’m not a big fruit eater/identifier.

A hard, savoury bread roll filled with carnitas (pork), and onion, all drowned in tomato sauce and a hefty amount of chile sauce is the Guadalajara snack par excelence. Add lime to taste.

A pile of calabazas on the way into Ixcatan, Jalisco.
