I probably picked it up at the library, it was one of my first forays into romance! And a delight! Soon after, you visited my local library in Sunnyvale, a tiny event. You were so friendly and charming.
I’m sorry, Brexit was just awful. I guess we’ll all be learning what grows well in our regions in the coming years. Good thing I like lentils and potatoes and apples…
since I’m trying to reduce distance traveled. But a list: many spices, chocolate, coffee, bananas, olives, maple syrup… and I worry about staple crops like rice, potatoes, chickpeas, and wheat. And tree crops like nuts and stone fruits!
I moved northwards recently to Washington state, and it’s been a hard revelation how good I had it in California for local produce and growing season. It’s hard to predict which crops will stumble hardest with the climate instability! Partly I’m mourning foods that travel across the world…
