So how were the slow-roasted tomatoes?????

I had oh-so-delicious strawberries and raspberries that you brought me for lunch, and a peach for a snack today, and despite the continuing coughing, sniffling, runny nose they still tasted so wonderful. I am discovering whole new worlds of food in this process!

I find myself getting a little too close to ye olde soapbox when I see people eating bananas and mangoes at work. What have you done to me!!!!!!!

Love, AP aka the Takeout Queen

Been housesitting lately with only intermittent access to a computer, so I'm finally getting a chance to say how much I'm enjoying your blog (and eating local, albeit almost completely vicariously). Kale for Sale makes me smile, salivate, and want to run out to the farmer's market.

Hugs to you and the cute guy.
