I am going 'Mostly Vegetarian'

15. veggies are good even if not organic

I don't routinely buy organic vegetables, except for celery, which is at the top of the dirty dozen list. And strawberries because they are at the top of the fruit list. And wow do they ever taste better than non-organic strawberries.

Ever notice that most of the store coupons are for dairy or meat foods? You do when you don't buy them anymore. But that's okay, I'm still saving money.

I planted a strawberry patch the other year, and it is yielding some fruit. And tomatoes and squash usually do well. But the farmer's market is where we get the best stuff in summer.

We had a friend a few years ago from Tunisia. He very seriously asked us why Americans who own homes with yards don't plant trees that bear fruit or nuts in every space they have. Why do they just grow decorative plants, he wondered. Hah--maybe some day we all will be doing that, if prices get too high!
