eat your hearts out, couponers!





The farmer's market is back in bidness. On Tuesday I got a pint of strawberries and three beautiful tomatoes for.....$16.15! No coupons! No discounts! No store savings! Just me, spending too much money for local produce. That was delicious, mouth-watering, and such a treat after months of tasteless tomatoes and pesticidal strawberries. Sigh. The price I pay to be a locavore in Alexandria, VA. (More like loco-vore.)

Are you sure those tomatoes weren't pumped with hormones?

Dear Jen, how could you even SUGGEST such a thing. People around here are organicaholics. Is this bitterness I sense from your tomato challenges? I will pray for your crop.

I love this Merrill. Just two weeks ago I spent 12.00 for 4 tomatoes and a juicy watermelon for Jack but I just couldn't help myself...I wanted a tomato sandwich so badly and it was so yummy!!!
