The Birds and the Fresno Bee

May 16, 2007 by Jocelyn Leave a Comment

I love the tack Dennis Pollack took on this headline for an article about the great flavor of this year’s stone fruit crop: Birds Give Tree Fruit High Marks.  Perhaps he’s trying to reach the avian market.  It surprises me a little bit, because their readership is generally limited to what’s on the bottom of the cage.

From the article:

"Birds know the difference," said Gordon Wiebe, a Reedley grower, explaining that he’s seeing more bird pecks in the fruit this year. "Last year the quality was down."

What’s All This Then?

I’m Jocelyn. I’m disabled by myalgic encephalomyelitis and have been varying gradations of bedridden since 2007. Cooking boldly-flavored vegetarian food frequently featuring legumes is my idea of the most enjoyable use of the twenty minutes total per good day that I can be upright.

Before I became disabled, I spent twelve years in the food business as a cheesemonger, tiny cog in a vast cereal company machine, and marketing analyst/jill-of-all-trades at a stone fruit commodity group. Right this way →

With my chronic illness I can't keep a precise posting schedule, so how about a monthly email?

Thanks!
