I feel fortunate we can afford quality foods. We subscribe to a local organic delivery service called Boston Organics, who also emphasize locally grown products when available. For us, the ecological considerations are almost secondary, because the quality of the food is so much better than what you get in the grocery store, and far more diverse and interesting. And comparably, it really isn't *that* expensive.
If it's within your means and a service like this exists nearby, I highly recommend trying it.
Hey Bill - great point. I've been meaning to look for a veg box delivery scheme near me and you've reminded me to. A quick google search led me to this list of 6 different schemes some in the UK, some in the US.
I love that Misfit Market! Were it not for Boston Organics, we'd totally use them! We get some wonky looking stuff from Boston Organics too, but we could care less! Tastes great!
I'm very glad you enjoyed it Ann. I forget that most Americans won't have been exposed to Shakespeare as much as I've been -- having lived in England, enjoyed going to plays all my life, and, most relevantly for this sonnet, been a long time fan of BBC productions of Jane Austen's books. I can replay in my head Kate Winslet in Sense and Sensibility quoting this poem.
Very clever, I enjoyed!

I very much enjoyed rereading the sonnet after I knew how to tackle it. This mutilation is tres magnifique.
It takes only "15 minutes to earn a chicken"
Thanks for giving me some brain food this morning, Pru.
