Old Crabs Grocery Store Tirade
Friday, July 2, 2004 by Old_Crab | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I.. I...went to the Big City grocery store today. The prices on produce...I almost fainted! I was absolutely flabbergasted at the prices. What hobbnobbery! Red Bell peppers were $1.89...a piece! I've got 42 Red Bell Pepper plants I planted 4 years ago and reseed themselves every year. No wonder neighbors ask for a couple every now and then. Tomatos'! Tomatoes'! 2.79 a lb. I was discomboobalated at the outrageous price. I've got Beefstead, Patio, and Romano planted in pots on the porch! Okra? Okra!?! The produce mgr. said it wasn't even the season for Okra! Then it'd be only a small crop year and the price could be as high as 2.57 a lb. I've got 3 acres of Okra ready and willing to be eaten! Green beans? $1.29 a lb. ! I'll sell you a bushel for a $.55! Melons? What kind do you want? 2 acres of the best! You can pick your own. Drop .25 in the bucket by the Post(Mail)box. Cucumbers? I almost laughed myself hysterical at their prices! Dill Pickles are whaaaaaaaaaat! Learn to pickle a cucumber and you'll never go back to Vlasic! As I went back out to my truck and sat down I realized too late that I had gone to the store for something which I had forgot to get. Tirade is now over. Good day. >

That job is either Cake or one serious pain! I mean heck, I wonder what their gloves are like ?
hehehe
I used to like being able to walk on over the My Nanna's house and run through her guardin. She grew anything and everything that would grow in Maine. Ruebarb Pie, nix the Strawberries, we had them wild but I liked just Ruebarb on it's own in a Pie. BlackBerries, Raspberries, Starwberries, BlueBerries, Apples all wild throughout the door yard or out in the front field.
Maine was cool... miss that
