Grocery store produce is selected for appearance rather than food quality. Otherwise we'd be eating a LOT more local produce by default--and wasting less resources in delivering it.
I had a similar experience with tomatoes, when I was younger. A sun-ripened, still-warm tomato fresh from the vine is so good--and I will need to figure out some means to have a growhouse-like area, or at least find a spot where there's lots of sunlight, when I move, so I can start growing them. I already have a basil that's gone nuts, and some oregano that's doing well.
I'm glad to hear all is relaxed at home. :)
Just found out that the Center has a metal-themed poly party every other month--including tonight. So I *must* go there. I insist. :)
I'm moving out of Seattle proper and in with my primary girlfriend, who is currently North of Kirkland, just South of Snohomish County. Yeah, that far up. :P I don't know how long this will last but I hope to be there for a year at least. I don't like moving, really.
