AMAZINGLY...

This is the most amazingly LARGE Strawberry I've ever seen. It's not ORGANIC...(gasp), which may explain a lot... I purchased 2 containers of conventional strawberries because there was a deal (2 for $4) compared to the Organic Strawberries at $4.99 a box...I should have been a smarter consumer but I was seduced by the price. Needless to say, finding this FRANKENSTEIN berry was not appetizing. BEWARE of the DIRTY DOZEN (Conventional produce with the highest pesticide residue). Here is the list of the Dirty Dozen and the Clean 15 (conventional produce with the least pesticide  residue):

This is the most amazingly adorable dog I've ever seen.... Hugh grew tired of the photo shoot this afternoon, hence the paw in my face...still cute.
