By llii dine Tullis Morrow Extension Service If you are tired of the holiday turkey and leftovers, it might be time to consider other foods that are currently best buys. If you are an oyster lover, there are adequate supplies available to meet demand, although prices are higher than a year ago. Pork supplies are large, so perhaps a pork roast would be a treat this cool weather. Bringing off-season vegeta ble prices down a bit are new shipments from Mexico. In cluded are green peppers, green beans, cucumbers, egg plant and zucchini. Tomatoes from Mexico will start in January. Turnips, rutabagas, par snips and carrots are in ample supply at moderate prices. Other easy-on-the-budget vegetables are hubbard squash, potatoes, onions, cab bage and head lettuce. The navel orange crop is a big one and prices should continue to trend down. Tan gerines, tangelos and man darin oranges are also in good supply. There are good values on grapefruit, although grape fruit are not plentiful and prices probably won't go much lower. Colombia mines Colombia mines 90 percent of the world's emeralds. Other available fresh fruits are D'Anjou pears and apples. Fresh cranberries are very scarce. This is because a large part bf the crop was weather damaged and went to the processors.
