Dear Healthyish friends,
Every year, I dream about all the perfectly ripe tomatoes and peaches I imagine I’ll be eating come August. But when that time (a.k.a right now) arrives, I have so much pent-up anticipation that I buy more than I can reasonably eat, and a few of the tomatoes and peaches inevitably end up bruised and shriveled on my kitchen counter.
Peaches and tomatoes are the most delicate, but they’re far from the only things I tend to over-buy this time of year (see: eggplant, green beans, peppers, lettuces...) I’ve done this for so many years now that I’ve fully accepted I will never buy less produce. So I’ve embarked on the next-best solution, which is to experiment with all the different ways to extend my market haul for as long as possible.
