Jun 3 - Day 154: Green Chilies!!

I found some chilies and the price isn't ridiculously expensive either. $5.99 a pound is still more than twice the regular price but I was over joyed to find some chilies and also at a decent price. A month ago it was $12 a pound. There is a ban on chilies and I have heard various reasons for the ban. One version is that USDA found some bacteria on these green chilies and banned them for sometime. The second version is that some of the Asian countries were importing drugs in the chilies and hence the ban. However I seriously doubt that as I always thought that the chilies we get here in the US were grown in the south; Florida & Southern California or were imported from Mexico. The third version from a Thai storekeeper is that there is a drought in California and hence the shortage of Thai chilies. Regardless of the reason, there is a shortage in chilies, specially on the east coast. My friends and family on the west coast are not even aware of it.

Aug 6 - Shallow Depth of Field

I signed up for 30 days to better food photos (30dbfp) project. This picture is part of that project. Whenever I post a picture from that project, I shall mention it. Coming to the greens in the picture, today I was at a farmers market in Union Square and found some purslane, also known as gangavalli kura in Telugu. I made some dal with it. Bowl of dal in the background is gangavalli kura pappu.

At a Farmers Market

Produce from Union Square farmers market. It was closing time when I got there and there wasn't much to buy. These onions caught my eye, so fresh and straight from the farm. I did not buy anything except some blueberries.
