Wanna peek? (this week’s grocery bag)

Today I hit the “big” Kapaa Farmer’s Market (big-ISH? ...nothing on this lovely little island is really very big) and stocked up on fresh, local, organic produce for the days to come. I also hit the “big”(ish) health food store and one of the “big”(ish) membership club-type stores. Wanna see what I got?

Aloha!
