Brain full of leeks



Kolachi and hedge apples at the farmers market this AM.
Lovin the Russian influence. Who knew.
Another surprise that one would never guess of NE.
And on the subject of who knew, apparently eggplant has nicotene in it
And it brings me back to all of the different markets I've seen...
From the king and queen of fruit in Thailand (durian and mangosteen) to crickets and betel nuts in Cambodia.
The care with which this woman prepared this narcotic in the little betel leaf packet with a smearing of lime paste and fresh chopped coconut was a sight you never forget. Then again, neither were all of the toothless folks as a result!
