In season, August

I haven't been great at taking care of my self lately, food-wise. I've been lazy and it's been hot, so I've been eating lots of Dinette sandwiches and cheeseburgers (what's new) and potato salads from the Armenian market that I add avocado, lemon juice, and white wine vinegar to. I'm on the brink of getting scurvy though so I'm going to the farmer's market in Barnsdall Park as soon as it opens today. What's in season in Southern California this month:
