The V-Lounge dropoff is also becoming a hotspot and it’s starting a “Barmer’s Market.” Other vendors today included Hamakua Mushrooms and WOW Farms. I picked up the three pack from Hamakua (trumpet royale, pioppini and shimeji mushrooms) and some beefsteak tomatoes from WOW. I’ve really become disillusioned with tomatoes. Most supermarkets carry the tomatoes that were picked green and shipped over here to ripen on the way over. WOW Farms’ tomatoes, on the other hand, you can taste that it’s vine ripened. It may cost more, but I’m too old to be eating crap.
For dinner, I made myself a salad with a mahi fillet and sauteed shimeji mushrooms. I’m hoping to do better than last week and get through all of these vegetables. I do, however, still have some collard greens from last week and I’m hoping to make kalua pig and collard greens. Easy enough to make, especially with the kalua pig coming right out of a package. I’m also going to make some omelettes with tomatoes, kale and cilantro
