Her? I thought this person was a guy!

Of course I would prefer not to eat pesticides. And for a time, I tried
only to buy organic. Until the time came when I really couldn't afford to
do that. And then I began reading stories (I didn't bother to read this
one) about how no matter how careful they are, stuff that we don't want is
still getting into our food. So I went back to buying whatever looked best
and/or was cheaper. Organic rarely looks best. And in the grocery stores
is often not the freshest or the cheapest.

But now that I am getting the CSA packages again, I am getting organic.
Sadly this can not be all of the produce that I buy because they offer only
limited things. This week I was looking forward to getting watermelon
radishes only to find out that they had subbed in two turnips. Oh snap. I
already had part of a turnip in the fridge and I am the only one who eats
turnips, I think. Not sure if husband likes them but I think I will find a
recipe for cooking them and see if he does.

So today I bought celery, green onions, white and large sweet onions, baby
carrots, and both green and red bell peppers. None of them organic. I know
that bell peppers are always on that top 10 or top 12 list of foods that you
*should* buy organic but any time I do find organic ones, they are mushy and
expensive. I also have a goodly store of dried ones stocked up for the
winter. I only use those for cooking though.
