They Really ARE Good Enough to Eat!!!

I’m the sort of gal who could care less about handbags and shoes but could stand and happily drool over a window display of kitchen gadgets or a green grocers window.

I LOVE grocery shopping because it’s chance for the Foodie in me to find something new in one of the isles to take home and getting my cooking teeth into. I also find fruit and veggies very photogenic and love the colour, texture and form of even ordinary veggies.

Doesn’t everyone find a head of garlic beautiful in form, function and isn’t it just a wonder of natures design?   No? (sigh) Ok, maybe it is just me.

Here in the Sunshine Organics shop in the small town of Maungaturoto I’m getting  the glazed over look of appreciation that  Himself knows only too well as he shrugs his shoulders, doesn’t “get” , but humours me.

These organic fruit and veg are probably even more appealing because you know they really are good enough to eat, no pesticides here!

Yes, I probably am  suffering from a mild form of madness… but come on, look at these photos and tell me that they aren’t images of beauty? And if you don’t think so…   take pity on my insanity and indulge me LOL.

    • I know… I have a grater, potato masher and juicer enlisted as backup troops if need be too, but so far I’ve never needed reinforcements :)
