I have thinky thoughts about a lot of stuff but I'm too lazy to type them up, instead I give you a poll and the possibility of me posting recs later today.

Here's the sitch: You have a vegetable platter in front you. It contains broccoli, bell pepper slices (any color), cucumbers, carrots, celery, cauliflower, squash/zucchini slices, and tomatoes. The dip is your preference, ranch, hummus, pimento cheese [what? I'm Southern], whatever you like to dip your veggies in.

NOTE: none of the veggies are limp, dry, under-ripe, or over-ripe. They're all brightly colored and at the height of freshness.

[Poll #1328038]

this post brought to you by someone who wants some produce with some flavor.

Hee, I see the ranch and hummus are neck and neck - which fits, cuz I was going to comment that I was TORN between them! :D.

Citrus? Pears? Baby carrots? Those are the only fresh produce I've had lately that were really yummy. And only one of those things is a vegetable.

Ranch is edging ahead! I can't believe how fascinated I am with this entire stupid poll.

I haven't been eating *terrible* food, I just miss summer veggies straight out of the garden.

I just miss summer veggies straight out of the garden.

And thus it is SEED CATALOG season! My coworker cracked me up by showing up yesterday with little sticky tabs on about 50 different pages - I don't think his yard is that big. :D But, oh, man - it all looks so good right around now!

It really does. There are picture *perfect* strawberries in grocery stores right now [for Valentine's I presume] they have ZERO flavor.
