I bought locally grown strawberries at my Farmer's Market last tuesday. Yummm. Not imported, unless across Lake Pontchartrain is considered "imported" I can also get satsumas - almost seedless tangerines this time of year. I'm fighting cold and flu season with fresh vitamin C.

Not buying "made in China" is getting increasingly difficult. There was an article in today's business section, how the upper middle class in China even avoiding buying the Made in China things - their bias is that european made is better quality. Strange twist on reality.
