i broke down and bought not only a case of OJ, but celery, brocoli, and carrots to boot. None of which grow at this time of year in Washington state. At least, not any that sell at the local grocer's. I'm left with ever decreasing options here. 1) Grow it myself *which will require actual planning and patience* 2) eat nothing but apples, radishes and 'grapples' for the next few months. OR 3) starve.
Okay, I guess I won't starve, but I've kinda gotten used to this new habit of centering my diet around food that eventually rots. I perused the snack aisle today for the first time in.... a while, and surprise! Oreos are not grown in the NW.
It's depressing.
However, Safeway does make some mean bagels. And I have about a week (give or take a few days) of celery, carrots, broccoli and OJ to enjoy.
Don't ask me how this happened, but Cole loves celery, Adam broccoli, and Andrew carrots. Yeah. I don't remember gushing about raw broccoli when I was Adam's age. I think it was corn for me.
But, then, you can't beat fresh corn on the cob grown in your backyard genuine NW article.
Sigh. I can't wait 'til the summer.
