Where I grew up in Connecticut plants often died with the cold temperatures or whatnot. Here it's a joy you know to see plants pop up again after the winter, plus all the butterflies and the bees, it's just a thrill. The aromas, the plants.
You go to the market here and ask, ‘what's in season?’. Where I lived, it was tomatoes coming from California that tasted like cardboard. I mean here we get fruit and vegetables that taste like they're supposed to. It's incredible. When I was in the States and working full-time, I really didn't enjoy cooking, but cooking here is fabulous. It's simple, and the taste is great. So that's my three cents, okay. Betty
