I can remember as a kid the news would spread quickly when the first shipment of Texas watermelons came to the grocery stores. The same was with Missouri strawberries or Colorado/Missouri peaches and the list could go on and on. It made those times of the year special and canners boiled preserving the special fruits and vegetables for the year long wait for fresh the next year. Storage areas filled with preserved jellies, fruits, and vegetables as each season came and went. Today, fresh (well so they say) come from all over the world. My friend is so proud of serving lamb from Australia and special vegetables from South America. It's really a different food world today than the days of my youth. When I was young, I longed to be living in futuristic days but now that I'm here, it's just not what I thought it would be. Some where along the line the whole culture got side tracked into the importance of saving the economy. What's up with that?<br /><br />Have a great White Flint Farm seasonal eating day.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571521947867768070noreply@blogger.com
