I just shouldn't be allowed to go on my own

Russo's is one of those places I shouldn't be allowed in by myself.It's a retail produce store that is a side business of what many think is the best produce company in town. They are purveyors to most of the better restaurants and most of the ethnic restaurants in town. Banana flowers,fresh tamarind,bamboo shoots,fresh longans,all the weird oriental veggies...a truly amazing and,for me, dangerous cheese counters...great charcuterie,nice soups and a fairly mainstream bakery.

I tried to keep myself under control by taking a basket not a cart. That trick never works, now i just have a sore arm.




For this weekend: a trio of marmalades
Meyer lemon, kumquat and Buddha's hand

Next time buy the Buddha's hand last or every 2 feet someone stops and asks what it is and how to use it
