Shopping tip - great expectations
So, you're in your local
produce market (the organic section, of course) and, lo and
behold, you get a glimpse of the first summer fruit.
You've been waiting all winter for your favorite melons to
reappear and finally you see them and you buy them and you
take them home and you carefully slice a melon and you bite into
it and ...
Wait a minute, you say.
I remember these melons tasting much better last year. What's goin' on?
Welcome to this week's
Shopping Tip, called Great Expectations, from Goodness
Greeness. Expectations are wonderful things. You
can build them without a mortgage or a permit. You can
manage them without an MBA. But you can dash them by
buying summer fruit too early.
We'd like to help you
manage your expectations (no, we don't have MBA's either)
for great tasting summer fruits by giving you our Great
Expectations Organic Shopping Schedule. This schedule
gives you exclusive access to the inside info on when the
new organic summer fruits from Goodness Greeness should be
at peak flavor.

So now you say "thanks,
that takes care of my shopping plans for fruit for the next
month, but what am I serving my family for dinner tonight?"
Sorry, we can't help you
with dinner tonight - the boss has us all busy getting ready
for the organic trade show in Chicago this weekend.
So you're on your own
tonight, but we will get back to sharing our favorite
recipes with you in next week's "Organics for you"
newsletter.
In the meantime, have a
great week!
