Ouch

Holy cow, I paid three frickin' dollars for a red bell pepper from Nicaraugua at Harris Teeter. I really need to explore this locavore thing more. Though I'm not sure if, like my ancestors, I really want to survive all winter on blackeyed peas, cabbage, potatoes, squash and cornbread. I need a hothouse out back. Can Santa fit one of those on his sleigh?

Amen to that sister. On both counts. I made Spanish food two weekends ago and the recipe called for two red bell peppers. "Hello, Citibank? I need a loan for two bell peppers."
And as for seasonal eating, well, I'll split the cost of that hothouse with you.
