A month and a half ago, I wrote about attending Extravaganza for the Senses. One of the booths there was a new organic produce delivery service. Now, I’ve heard of these services, and it seemed very convenient, but I was always a little turned off by price. Then I talked to Farm [...]

I came across this video (thanks to my sister) and was so amused for 2 minutes and 51 seconds. I think all Trader Joe’s fans and haters would also get a good chuckle.

I’m grumpy. Why? Because I got an untried product out of my freezer today that I’d recently purchased from Trader Joe’s and I feel really cheated.

It’s a turning point at the market, summer fruits are [...]

It’s getting warmer, the days are getting longer, and my allergies are starting to act up. That can mean only one thing: asparagus season!
