The stock I like to use most is the "Kitchen Basics" brand natural stocks. Better than broths because you can season them yourself, and they're made in the same fashion as I learned to make them, naturally low and slow, the right way. Hey Cookie!

Zaatar? however you spell it) on the tables and I love it sprinkled on Greek Salad. Probably completely inauthentic, but it does taste good. I buy it online from Penzeys.

Usually peppers are closer to at least $3/lb and asparagus is $3.99/lb. Of course, this is all our regular, non-organic stuff. I'm afraid our tiny organic section at the market is so understocked and overpriced we hardly ever shop there. Of course this doesn't mean you shouldn't come to the island on a trip to Port Townsend, anyway! Hey B’gina — all those cheap prices at once were a fluke!

You live on an island and produce is that cheap???? About the cheapest I see fruit is $1/lb, and that's only on sale. Peppers??? ~$4/lb usually. I think being rich is a requirement for vegetarians here. If I ever get up to Port Townsend, I'll have to shop on your island. It would be worth the trip. Holy mother of God!

Chopper sez he wants to make absolutely sure that everyone knows he got the EVOO thing from Ming Tsai and <i>not</i> from Rachael Ray. If Chopper weren't at work, he could tell you the beef stock brand. Me? Um... well, the box is red. I know that much. It’s a recipe and a drinking game!

(Takes swig of beer.) He said it again! (Takes swig of beer.) This sounds like a good one; oxtail tastes so brown! Chopper, what is that brand of beef stock you like? He said EVOO!
