Seasonality be damned. I wanted a tomato in my mouth so badly that I didn't care if they were flown in from Mars. You stinking carbon footprint!
So I popped right into the shiny new, fluorescent green "Kim's Millennium Market" around the corner and snatched up a heap of cherries, tomatoes and basil, all unsustainably trekked from the entirely opposite side of the nation. And heavens, they were delicious. I scarfed the cherries as a snack while I whipped up the last of my box of whole wheat couscous, then I dumped in a greedy ton of tomatoes and ribbons of basil and some nuggets of feta that I had hiding in the back of the fridge.
Tastes like sunny California! Humm. Homesick.
