Squash is plentiful, but changing its skin. Less of the soft-skinned summer squash is in the stores. Now the hard-shelled winter varie ties, such as acorn, butternut and hubbard are coming in quantity. Cabbage, broccoli and cauli flower are excellent quality and moderately priced. Local peppers are still plentiful. Other plentiful vegetables in clude potatoes, onions, car rots, cucumbers and fine-quality local corn. Local tomatoes are a deli cious addition to fall menus. Local tomatoes are picked riper and are not good keepers. Therefore, they are not often found in the super markets. California's heat wave has damaged many of the leafy vegetables and prices are up a little. Head lettuce is still in good supply and moderately priced. Peaches and nectarines are just about gone. However, Bartlett pears are abundant and particularly good quality this year. Cantaloupe, casa bas and honeydew melons are still in good supply. Bananas are a little more plentiful than they were and specials are more frequent. Persimmons should be in the markets within the next week or two. Their season is short, so persimmon lovers should watch for them. Red and Yellow Delicious and Jonathan apples are in the markets. Rome Beauties should be in very soon. Yellow Delicious and Jonathans are good all-purpose apples, great for either cooking or eating fresh. Red Delicious are best eaten raw. There are plenty of grapes available, although prices are starting to go up because of storage costs. The wholesale price of beef has been rising and retail prices are being raised ac cordingly. One of the best ways to extend your beef dollar is to watch for specials and buy extra cuts for the freezer. There are plentiful supplies of pork and poultry. Prices are moderate. Fishing weather has generally been good; and there are ample supplies of fresh sole, snapper, perch and cod. Salmon is available at luxury prices.
