Fruit.

[serafaery]

Yesterday I was looking for an affordable piece of fruit for breakfast at Whole Foods. Most of their produce is $2.99 per pound or more, but I found a Bosc pear for $1.99.

Picked one up and started to walk, but stopped and thought, where's the "organic" sign? Nothing. Where are they from? New Zealand! I want seasonal, local fruit.

I opted for the organic Valencia orange from California, also for $1.99lb. They are usually too sour for me, but this was juicy and sweet.

It's the little things. They keep me going.

Splurged on a $4 pint of Hood River (local) organic blueberries this morning. Yum. Hopefully they will take back the little plastic pint cover?

I watched someone drop 25# of blueberries on the floor today. Small world...

the little fruit market by my house (on, uhm, twentieth and hawhthonre ish) has pretty well priced fruit. when you come by for a fitting you should grab some! it's all between washington oregon and california..so pretty close to local.

Hey thanks, cool! It usually takes me a little while to notice new "frienders" so this is helpful. :) I added ya back!
