SCENES FROM THE BOUNTIFUL SPROUT






"The culprit is our spoiled-brat insistence on eating strawberries in November, apricots in January and apples in the spring...Would bloody Ralphie have a bloody coronary if he ate strawberries only at the times they grew within a thousand miles of his bloody little house?! Hardly. He might instead have the great pleasure you get from expectation; from waiting; a semblance of that special joy you feel on Christmas morning. The potential for this joy is lost when we can have anything we want anytime we want it."
