True...  but I'd expect a place like Whole Foods to have decent frozen
veggies, with their reputation... :)
 
 NB>> butter...  ;)   I usually get the spinach for putting on pizza or
 NB>> in soup... frozen works fine for that... :)  I also try to keep
 NB>> peas, corn, mixed veggies and broccoli on hand...

 RH> At one time that was similar to what I kept on hand, plus green beans.
 RH> The farmer's market has gotten me spoiled on having fresh veggies on
 RH> hand tho. (G)
 
I got spoiled for green beans from putting up my own from the public
market... what frozen green beans we have now are part of the mixed
veggies...  I'll get all sorts of fresh from Wegmans, in season...
 
 NB>> Veggies in season I'm usually getting from Wegmans' produce
 NB>> department. Currently I have a delicata squash and some broccoli in
 NB>> stock... ;)  Oh, and an avocado we need to eat today... ;)

 RH> Sounds good; I've still the greens (and the butternut squash) from
 RH> last week, minus some of the bok choy. I may go over to the market
 RH> tomorrow to see what looks good for the coming week's cooking.

Down to the broccoli and added celery...

 RH>> incompatable. (G)
 NB>> You'd just have to make sure that if you got another cart that the
 NB>> height and all were more compatible, then, I guess...  ;)

 RH> It's a pretty standard thing so I doubt there's too much difference in
 RH> height from the one we had years ago. But, I can keep looking.

Never know... might find one that's a better fit...  :)

 RH>> We escaped the snow that the western part of the state had but there's
 RH>> a hard freeze warning out for tonight. Right now (8pm) it's 43 outside,
 RH>> and dropping.
 NB>> We had lows last night in the 30's, but still no hard freeze... still
 NB>> talking about getting snow mixed in with tomorrow's rain, but we'll
 NB>> see...  Haven't had any of it yet that I've seen...  :)  One of the

 NB>> for the snow to show up... and she doesn't want it to go away until
 NB>> April... I told her that I like to see it when it covers the grass,
 NB>> but not so much the car or the streets, or turns to ice on the
 RH>> sidewalks...  ;)

 RH> And after a few months of white, you want to see green again. We're
 RH> going to get colder this week end, then warm up to the mid 60s by
 RH> Tuesday or so, only to plunge to the mid 40s by Thursday.

One certainly does appreciate spring more after a winter..  ;)  Things
are turning colder again here, after a couple of fairly warm days...
just in time to take my mom to an appointment today and a concert
tomorrow night...  I was kinda hoping for better weather for both of
those, but I guess one just has to take what one gets... ;)  Highs
tomorrow (I think) are only going to be in the 30s....
