Fridays Farmers Markets




































 On Fridays I like to go to the Hermosa Beach farmers Market.  Its my favorite.  Because its on Friday, everyone is in a good mood.  They have a great selection of fruits and veggie vendors and my favorite prepared food; Dave's Gourmet Korean.  They have the most unbelievable tempeh, which I normally hate but this stuff is hard to keep in the fridge.  It disappears within a day or two.  This week I got some corn, a bag of blue lake green beans, a perfectly ripe cantaloupe, nectarines, tomatoes and some roses for my troubles.  I love to support local farms and business and whats could be better than ripe tomatoes in the midst of this cold summer?

The Shop at Equinox carries great stuff.  Lulu Lemon, Nike, Kheil's and I've also seen reps showing off their cute bathing suit and clothing lines almost every week.  Get in there if your a member and if not, ask one of your rich member friends if you can come as their guest one day.  They need support on the Stairmaster.
