Simple satisfaction: food porn

Capturing those moments of simple satisfaction that tend to happen when you stop to notice them.

-By Lisa

These days, I've noticed I have something of a fetish for fresh-picked local produce. I don't seem to be alone, as similar obsessions are reflected in a plethora of great food quotes, so I thought I'd share a visual record of my recent culinary conquests.

"Sex is good, but not as good as fresh, sweet corn."  ~Garrison Keillor

"Shipping is a terrible thing to do to vegetables. They probably get jet-lagged, just like people."  ~Elizabeth Berry

"Only two things that money can't buy

~John Denver

Simply Stupid Award: Target’s back-to-school advertising By Katherine I had a root canal last week. That’s apropos of nothing related to this post or Simplifying the Simple Life, really.
