I felt like a complete clone of my mom this morning – waking up before the rest of the household, hitting the pavement and trekking towards whatever early activity XYZ city has to offer.  Ariel was still beat from my East Coast early rising yesterday, so I let her sleep in while I headed down the street to the Hollywood Farmer’s Market.

Fresh watermelon juice?  Yes, please.

I also couldn’t resist the giant portobello mushrooms at The Fungi Stand.  I bought two to toss on the grill tomorrow, which set me back and unexpected $8.50.  The shroom purchase cramped my spending style for the morning,  but it’ll be soooo worth it tomorrow!

I couldn’t get over how large and colorful the produce selection was.  If I had brought more cash and didn’t have to walk an uphill mile and a half home, I would have done some serious damage.

And then I tasted one of the best combos EVER…

A sundried tomato with whipped garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice.  Yum!  I’m probably going to recreate this spread for my 4th of July portobello sammy.

Now off to get ready for Sarah’s wedding!!  Weeee!
