Oh the pressure.

My weekly trips to the grocery store always include the great hunt for sales on meat, stocking up on bubbly water and the purchase of a modest amount of fresh vegetables.

Vegetables generally purchased are broccoli, romaine lettuce, string beans, english peas (in season), radishes and scallions along with carrots and celery when necessary. Occasionally there will be a kale or squash product that makes the cut.

Lately I've noticed that none of these are being eaten. I open the fridge and avoid eye contact with anything green or leafy.

This morning I believe I saw an ear of corn mock me from the depths of decomposing murk.
