Well, we had our last Winter CSA pickup last week and I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, I’m sad because no local veggies means no more farmer visits to look forward to. Plus, you know, no local veggies.
On the other hand, I’m kind of mad. What do you mean I have to buy all my vegetables at the regular grocery store now? I’ve been all smug and uppity all winter long and there’s, like, three more months until the Summer CSA starts. Now what am I supposed to do? What will I lord over my fellow shoppers?
That’s okay. I guess the Farmer and I could use a little cooling-off period. Meaning just me. I’ll get to have a couple of flings with some vegetables I haven’t seen in a while, like fennel. That’s right —fennel. And peas. Not in season, you say? I laugh in the face of the regular growing season. That’s what California is for. And Peru. And the freezer section.
So, take that, Farmer. I don’t miss you. Good riddance.
Nobody talk to me.

Winter CSA? Why oh why don't we have that around here..isn't it colder in Boston? How can those veggies be local? Are you sure that farmer hasn't been hoodwinking you?

Izzy's mama: No, I'd definitely remember it if there was any hoodwinking going on. Hoodwinking in the root cellar or anywhere else for that matter.

Fennel and Peas. Don't hurt yourself with that shopping cart, girl!
I'm just saying, there's definitely a pineapple, and maybe some broccoli, with your name on it. You can totally go crazy!!! Welcome back to the warm nest of perfectly shaped veggies...
Wow...life without CSAs really does suck. I feel so empty and alone now.

You know, you're a damn good photographer Tammy. I admire that in a person. How's the book coming?

Sally: Slowly. As for photography, I don't really think that's one of my talents, but I sure appreciate your saying so.
Deanna: You make a very good point. If I'm going to rebel, I should go all out. Consider that pineapple bought.
