Enjoy those Veggies, California!

I have noticed since I arrived here in Ireland that I took for granted the abundance of quality, fresh produce in the San Francisco area. Yes, I was spoiled by working Farmer's Markets. I know that. But not only is produce at the stores not the same, most restaurants don't use veggies in dishes. Case in point: I got chicken curry and rice for dinner tonight. It was the classic yellow curry for over here (not Thai-style with coconut milk) with chicken and some onions. And that's it. No veggies other than some onions. And that makes me sad.

I guess I am officially a grown-up now.

Yeah, Thomas was bragging about how Denmark is in the year 2006 and therefore does not need things like farmers' markets because DK is one of the world's leaders in mass organic farming. blah blah blah. I don't call it DK anymore. I call it Fairyland.
