I love this movement - we really need it. I really need it! Thanks for the info. too.
Thanks for the comment Diana.

We all desperately needs this movement, though we have nothing of such over here..or in Asia generally. Most of the fruits you mentioned are not grown here or but we can buy from certain supermarkets at an extremely high price. Happy week :D
Don't you just love September.. thanks for the inspiration!
I enjoy reading your monthly about the seasonal fruits and vegetables. Reading your latest one inspired me to write about the slow food movement. I will start tomorrow by a recollection of last weekend event in SFO. It looks like it was a success.
